New roof snagging in Cheriton, Hampshire
Find out what’s going on with the new roof before you spend money on it. We carry out new roof snagging in Cheriton, with photos and a clear written report.

- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
How new roof snagging works in Cheriton
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We are often asked to look into flashings not properly dressed or fixed and untidy or loose verge details, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Cheriton makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

When to book a survey in Cheriton
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is VAT included in the price?
Common questions in Cheriton
How do I find out if my home in Cheriton is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Cheriton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Pricing the remedial work

Cheriton homes and their roofs
The wider area around Cheriton has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 0.8 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Cheriton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property
Getting a price

Why act early in Cheriton
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cheriton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep warranty papers safe
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
