About our new roof snagging in Amport
We carry out new roof snagging in Amport and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We are often asked to look into broken coverings left on a new roof and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and new flat roofs.
For a small place like Amport, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check before your warranty period ends
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
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 around your tenants.
When to book a survey in Amport
Owners frequently get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Common reasons to book include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What they will not be able to tell you
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
New roof snagging in Amport: local notes
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Amport, 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.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Amport questions
Is my home in Amport listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Amport in the area you cover?
Yes, Amport is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What does a new roof inspection include?
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 we note any mess or damage left after the work.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
