New Roof Snagging in Conford
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Conford, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.
New roof snagging in Conford
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. If you are worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Conford, 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Conford
Letting agents and landlords in Conford book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
For a price for your roof in Conford, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Conford, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Questions from Conford
Is Conford in the area you cover?
Yes, Conford is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Will you come out to Conford?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
New roof snagging in Conford: local notes
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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Other services in Conford
Do you need new roof snagging in Conford?
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
Around Conford, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
