How new roof snagging works in East Anton
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 inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like East Anton, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around East Anton. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Booking your survey
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:

- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
New roof snagging in East Anton: local notes
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. 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’s worth knowing whether it’s 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 Andover station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Paul Church Centre, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

East Anton: your questions answered
Will you come out to East Anton?
Yes, East Anton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is East Anton in the area you cover?
Yes, East Anton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts 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 email us.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a smaller place like East Anton, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
