New roof snagging in Cranmore
We carry out new roof snagging in Cranmore and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We are frequently asked to look into loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Cranmore are listed or sit 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Cranmore
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Cranmore 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 agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Cranmore questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cranmore?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Cranmore?
Yes. Cranmore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
What else we do in Cranmore
When to book a survey in Cranmore
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
Landlords with a home close to Lymington Pier station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- When you will get the report
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
New roof snagging around Cranmore
Cranmore lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Swainston Manor, about 3.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cranmore. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
