New roof snagging in Charlton
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Typical surveys look at tiles or slates sitting out of line and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
For a small place like Charlton, 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 booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Charlton
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Charlton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What else we do in Charlton
New roof snagging around Charlton
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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Common roof problems in Charlton
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Untidy or loose verge details
For an older house near a landmark like St Thomas, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What exactly goes into their report
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Charlton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Related advice
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Common questions in Charlton
Will you come out to Charlton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Charlton listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
