New roof snagging in Badger Farm, Hampshire
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Badger Farm, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Poorly finished verges
- Damage to other parts of the building
The survey, step by step
Where it is 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, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. A visit to a smaller place like Badger Farm is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
New roof snagging in Badger Farm: what you get
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across flashings and valleys, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Badger Farm, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you are buying in Badger Farm or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Homes in smaller places like Badger Farm can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check the roof before you pay in full
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Badger Farm
Will you come out to Badger Farm?
Yes, Badger Farm is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Badger Farm listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Buying a home or a new roof in Badger Farm
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs

When to book a survey in Badger Farm
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.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Saint Luke, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What insurance they carry
