How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
New roof snagging in Droxford: what you get
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. 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. We’re often asked to look into underlay ending short at the eaves and poorly finished verges, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and ridges and verges.
For a small place like Droxford, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Why act early in Droxford
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Older and listed buildings around Droxford may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What else we do in Droxford
Droxford: your questions answered
Do you cover Droxford?
Yes, Droxford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Droxford is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Droxford, 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 ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

What new roof snagging looks like in Droxford
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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
Around Droxford, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
