Broxhill New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Broxhill, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
About our new roof snagging in Broxhill
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay not dressed into the gutter and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
Somewhere as small as Broxhill, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. They’re photographed for the report.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Broxhill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Your questions about new roof snagging in Broxhill
Do you cover smaller places like Broxhill?
Yes, Broxhill is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover Broxhill?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Broxhill is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Broxhill
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
What we’re asked to look at in Broxhill
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
The streets around a church like Church of St James are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, 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
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

New roof snagging around Broxhill
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
Whatever the street in Broxhill, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
