Arford New Roof Snagging
We carry out new roof snagging in Arford and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Poorly finished verges
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
How new roof snagging works in Arford
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at new flashings and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Some older homes in villages like Arford are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Arford homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near Liphook station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Arford is about 6 miles south of Farnham, in Hampshire. Surveys in Arford work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Arford is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Arford
Do you cover smaller places like Arford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Arford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Arford as anywhere else.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To get a price for new roof snagging in Arford, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Arford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
