About our new roof snagging in Cottonworth
We carry out new roof snagging in Cottonworth and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed damage to other parts of the building and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Cottonworth may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What else we do in Cottonworth
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Which survey package you book
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Cottonworth, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Cottonworth
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Why act early in Cottonworth
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. In a place like Cottonworth, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book us in Cottonworth
- Photographs and a written report every time
- PI and public liability insurance
- Visits on any day of the week
- More than 5,000 surveys completed

What new roof snagging looks like in Cottonworth
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Less, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Common questions in Cottonworth
Do you cover smaller places like Cottonworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cottonworth?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
