New roof snagging in Clanfield
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Typical surveys look at loose flashings at walls or chimneys and gutters blocked by building debris, across flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
In a village or hamlet like Clanfield, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. 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 straight away, and a good reference for later.

The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Clanfield, 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Why it’s worth a survey now in Clanfield
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. In a small place like Clanfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Common questions in Clanfield
Is my home in Clanfield listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Clanfield as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What new roof snagging looks like in Clanfield
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 are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Landlords with a home close to Rowlands Castle station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Prices for new roof snagging in Clanfield
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Details hidden from sight
