New roof snagging in Burley Street

Different roofs, different checks

Underlay and ventilation

Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.

Flashings

Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.

New roof snagging in Burley Street: what you get

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 detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We are often asked to look into gutters or fascias damaged during the job and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.

For a small place like Burley Street, 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. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.

Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

DIY checks: what’s safe

During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.

Leave it or get it looked at?

Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Around Burley Street, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Useful tips for Burley Street property owners

You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:

  • Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
  • Book snagging before the final payment
  • Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
  • Diary the defects period end date

Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.

Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

What new roof snagging looks like in Burley Street

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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burley Street. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

In and around Burley Street, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

Is Burley Street in the area you cover?

We do. The survey and report are the same in Burley Street as anywhere else.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.

What we do, step by step

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Burley Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.

  1. We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
  2. The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
  3. Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
  4. Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
  5. You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Before the survey

  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey
  • Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
