How new roof snagging works in Durford Wood
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. 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. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
For a small place like Durford Wood, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

New roof snagging in Durford Wood: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Durford Wood is about 3 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Durford Wood is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
We work across the GU33 and GU31 postcode area for new roof snagging and the streets around it.

Around Durford Wood

The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Durford Wood, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

When to book a survey in Durford Wood
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The address and postcode of the property
