About our new roof snagging in Broad Oak
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. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We are frequently asked to look into underlay ending short at the eaves and verge tiles or slates not secured, across replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
For a small place like Broad Oak, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Broad Oak
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Broad Oak questions
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Oak?
Yes, Broad Oak is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Broad Oak listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
How do I book a survey in Broad Oak?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a small place like Broad Oak, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Broad Oak can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive

- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

New roof snagging around Broad Oak
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Winchfield station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
