About our new roof snagging in Brighton Hill
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. Common reasons to book are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and broken coverings left on a new roof, across ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Around Brighton Hill, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Brighton Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brighton Hill?
Yes, Brighton Hill is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Brighton Hill 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.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How do I book a survey in Brighton Hill?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Brighton Hill is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room
Book a survey

Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Blocked gutters on homes around Brighton Hill overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

Local roofs and buyers in Brighton Hill
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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 are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With The Vyne about 4 miles north, Brighton Hill sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Church Of Christ The King, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
