New roof snagging in Drayton, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the new roof at your property in Drayton. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips

Why act early in Drayton
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. For older village homes like those around Drayton, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

New roof snagging in Drayton: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you are worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Drayton 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Drayton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Do you need new roof snagging in Drayton?
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters blocked by building debris
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times

New roof snagging in Drayton: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. 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 the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Drayton questions
Will you come out to Drayton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Drayton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Drayton?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
