How new roof snagging works in Bishopstoke
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Bishopstoke, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you’re buying in Bishopstoke or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. A visit to a smaller place like Bishopstoke is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Bishopstoke: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bishopstoke?
Yes, Bishopstoke is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bishopstoke as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Bishopstoke is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Bishopstoke
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it is applicable. Homes in smaller places like Bishopstoke can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
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.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Buying a home or a new roof in Bishopstoke
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses like South Stoneham House, about 3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Bishopstoke goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Damage to other parts of the building
For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Useful tips for Bishopstoke property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Keep warranty papers safe
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
