What affects the cost of new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
About our new roof snagging in Battramsley
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about poorly finished verges and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Battramsley may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Local roofs and buyers in Battramsley
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Battramsley, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Sway station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Battramsley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Estimates of what fixes will cost

Your questions about new roof snagging in Battramsley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Battramsley?
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.
Is Battramsley within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Battramsley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know 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.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property

Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
