Deane New Roof Snagging
Know where you stand with the new roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out new roof snagging in Deane.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Outbuildings and barns around Deane are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- Prices that include VAT
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Deane
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. Common reasons to book are debris left in gutters or valleys and untidy or loose verge details, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Deane makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

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 a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Deane, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Prices for new roof snagging in Deane
When we price a survey, we consider:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
We will normally ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.

New roof snagging around Deane
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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.
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Overton station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Deane is about 5 miles west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Deane is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Deane is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. Reading is in our area too.

Local landmarks in Deane
Deane’s nearest station is Overton station, roughly 2 miles west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Park Prewett Hospital (4.8 miles north-east). Not far away are Farleigh Hill.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Questions from Deane
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Deane?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Deane?
Yes, Deane is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
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 I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
