Common questions in Blackmoor
Is Blackmoor in the area you cover?
Yes, Blackmoor is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackmoor?
Yes, Blackmoor is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
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 test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
About our new roof snagging in Blackmoor
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Common reasons to book are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and gutters blocked by building debris, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Blackmoor, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Blackmoor, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- 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.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work

Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Book snagging before the final payment
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Height and safe access
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we can’t see
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Pricing the remedial work
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers

What new roof snagging looks like in Blackmoor
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Take an older house close to St Matthew's Church: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Liss station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
