About our new roof snagging in Crookham Village

We carry out new roof snagging in Crookham Village and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.

In a village or hamlet like Crookham Village, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Tips from our surveys

There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:

  • Send the snagging report to your roofer
  • Look for new stains after a downpour
  • Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
  • Keep warranty papers safe

The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.

Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.

Roof by roof

Valleys

A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.

Slate roofs

Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging

A few things affect what a survey costs:

  • Which survey package you book
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • House, block, shop or office
  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages

Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

What we need to know

If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:

  • The property’s address and postcode
  • Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block
  • The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage

Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Crookham Village homes and their roofs

Historic houses like Farnham Castle, about 4.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Crookham Village goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.

For landlords with property near Fleet station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

How it works

We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Crookham Village can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.

  1. We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
  2. We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
  4. We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
  5. Snags are listed in a report with photographs.

Before we arrive

  • Leave a clear route to the loft
  • Keep pets in another room
  • Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Getting a price

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Advice

Common questions in Crookham Village

Do you carry out roof surveys in Crookham Village?

Yes, Crookham Village is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.

Do you cover smaller places like Crookham Village?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.

Will you check the loft?

Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.

Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?

Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.

Will you walk on the roof?

Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.

What’s the best way to book?

Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.

Is this an asbestos survey?

No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.

When to book a survey in Crookham Village

Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.

Typical things we are asked to look at include:

  • Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
  • Broken coverings left on a new roof
  • Debris left in gutters or valleys
  • Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work

Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What insurance they carry
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
  • Will the report include photos?
  • Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

What a good roof survey covers

Can I check my roof myself?

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
