Wraysbury New Roof Snagging
Get a clear view of the new roof at a property in Wraysbury from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Wraysbury
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’re worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Wraysbury, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

When to book a survey in Wraysbury
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What experience they bring
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Being in a smaller place like Wraysbury doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

New roof snagging around Wraysbury
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Frogmore House, about 1.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wraysbury. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Sunnymeads station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Wraysbury
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wraysbury?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Wraysbury in the area you cover?
Yes, Wraysbury is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Pricing the remedial work
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Whether the roof will leak in future
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
