New roof snagging in Wytham: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay not dressed into the gutter and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
For a small place like Wytham, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Common roof problems in Wytham
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in at the first heavy rain.

- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If you own a rental within reach of Oxford Parkway station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Why get it checked now?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In a small place like Wytham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

FAQs for Wytham
Is Wytham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wytham?
Yes, Wytham is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Wytham, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

New roof snagging in Wytham: local notes
The wider area around Wytham has a long history of building, with Holywell Manor about 3.1 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
