New roof snagging in Bailey Green

New roof snagging in Bailey Green

Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy or loose verge details and broken coverings left on a new roof.

Some older homes in villages like Bailey Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.

Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a survey costs

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:

  • Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • The size of the roof
  • How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

What we need to know

We’ll usually ask about:

  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date
  • Where the property is, with the postcode
  • What’s prompted the survey

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

New roof snagging in Bailey Green: local notes

The wider area around Bailey Green has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.7 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How the survey works

Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a small place like Bailey Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

  1. We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
  2. We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
  4. Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
  5. The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.

Before the survey

  • If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
  • Keep pets in another room
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

How to book

Common questions in Bailey Green

How do I find out if my home in Bailey Green is listed?

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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Is Bailey Green within the area you cover?

Yes. Bailey Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.

What insurance do you have?

Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.

How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?

Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.

Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.

What we cannot see

Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:

  • Estimates of what fixes will cost
  • Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
  • Whether the roof will leak in future

If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Ridges and verges
  • Replacement roofs
  • Flashings and valleys
  • New-build homes
  • Loft conversions and dormers
  • New flat roofs

Roof by roof

Ridges, hips and verges

Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.

Slate roofs

Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.

Practical tips

A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:

  • Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
  • Put any issues to your roofer in writing
  • Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
  • Book snagging before the final payment

After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.

Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
