New roof snagging in Bramshott, Hampshire
New roof snagging in Bramshott and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
What we are asked to look at in Bramshott
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
About our new roof snagging in Bramshott
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We’re often asked to look into untidy or loose verge details and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, on ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Bramshott, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right

Common questions in Bramshott
How do I find out if my home in Bramshott is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Bramshott in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Bramshott is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I book a survey in Bramshott?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Bramshott homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. 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.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Bramshott can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
