New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Bramshaw
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Bramshaw makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Bramshaw, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
New roof snagging around Bramshaw
About 2.3 miles north lies Landford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Bramshaw has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we look for on each type of roof

Your questions about new roof snagging in Bramshaw
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bramshaw?
Yes, Bramshaw is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is Bramshaw within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that 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.
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. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
For landlords and managing agents
Landlords and agents in Bramshaw book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Useful tips for Bramshaw property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep the contract and invoices together
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
