- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Brown Candover, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- 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
- Keep pets in another room
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Brown Candover
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Brown Candover, the visit is planned like any other: 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Brown Candover
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brown Candover?
Yes, Brown Candover is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brown Candover?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Brown Candover
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Details hidden from sight
- Pricing the remedial work
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

What new roof snagging looks like in Brown Candover
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Micheldever station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
