Buying a home or a new roof in East Cholderton
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

New roof snagging in East Cholderton: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
Older buildings in small places like East Cholderton may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like East Cholderton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

When to book a survey in East Cholderton
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What affects the price in East Cholderton
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your questions about new roof snagging in East Cholderton
Do you cover smaller places like East Cholderton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is East Cholderton in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in East Cholderton as anywhere else.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
