How do I arrange new roof snagging in Binley?

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.

Can you survey at the weekend?

Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.

Does the weather affect the survey?

It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.

When should I book new roof snagging?

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.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Binley

Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. It’s all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We are frequently asked to look into debris left in gutters or valleys and broken coverings left on a new roof, across flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes.

Older buildings in small places like Binley 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 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 works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What we are asked to look at in Binley

Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.

Common reasons to book include:

  • Gutters blocked by building debris
  • Missing or blocked roof ventilation
  • Poorly finished verges
  • Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips

Landlords with a home close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What to check before booking

  • What exactly goes into their report
  • Their drone registration, if they fly one
  • Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
  • Their insurance cover

What a good roof survey covers

Tips that help

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:

  • Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
  • Keep warranty papers safe
  • Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
  • Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts

You receive a written report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.

Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Binley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.

  1. First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
  2. We inspect as far as safe access allows.
  3. We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
  4. We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
  5. You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Before the survey

  • Tell us where we can park nearby
  • For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
  • Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

How to book

New roof snagging around Binley

About 3.8 miles north-east lies Highclere Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Binley has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
