How new roof snagging works in Crow
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and underlay ending short at the eaves, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Crow 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’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is 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.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Do you need new roof snagging in Crow?
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Around Crow, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Crow book surveys as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What new roof snagging looks like in Crow
The wider area around Crow has a long history of building, with Avon Tyrrell House about 2.4 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What else we do in Crow
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Crow, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey

Advice
Questions from Crow
Is Crow within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crow?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. 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 small place like Crow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
