New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Abbotts Ann
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you’re worried about poorly finished verges and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Abbotts Ann, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Buying a home or a new roof in Abbotts Ann
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For landlords with property near Andover station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Do you need new roof snagging in Abbotts Ann?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Is my home in Abbotts Ann listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Abbotts Ann, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.

Preparing for the visit
