About our new roof snagging in Awbridge
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. Typical surveys look at broken coverings left on a new roof and gutters blocked by building debris, across new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Awbridge may be listed or 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’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Questions from Awbridge
Do you carry out roof surveys in Awbridge?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Awbridge is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Awbridge is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Prices for new roof snagging in Awbridge
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The property’s address and postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Awbridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Details hidden from sight
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

New roof snagging around Awbridge
Historic houses like Mottisfont Abbey, about 2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Awbridge goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Common roof problems in Awbridge
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before you book

- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
