How new roof snagging works in Brockbridge
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 work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and people most often book us about missing or blocked roof ventilation and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
Somewhere as small as Brockbridge, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for Brockbridge
How do I find out if my home in Brockbridge is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Brockbridge?
Yes, Brockbridge is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Brockbridge, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Buying a home or a new roof in Brockbridge
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

When to book a survey in Brockbridge
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Problems we come across often include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary and All Saints: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Why it is worth a survey now in Brockbridge
