New roof snagging in Barton Stacey, Hampshire
Independent new roof snagging in Barton Stacey. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.

- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
What you can safely check yourself
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.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
How new roof snagging works in Barton Stacey
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. 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’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you are worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Barton Stacey, 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 booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Barton Stacey questions
Will you come out to Barton Stacey?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Barton Stacey?
Yes, Barton Stacey is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Barton Stacey
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Barton Stacey needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
How we price new roof snagging
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The property’s address and postcode
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Around Barton Stacey, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Visits on any day of the week
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

What we’re asked to look at in Barton Stacey
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will the report include photos?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

Other services in Barton Stacey
Buying a home or a new roof in Barton Stacey
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
