New roof snagging in East Harting
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. Common reasons to book are debris left in gutters or valleys and poorly finished verges, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
In a village or hamlet like East Harting, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around East Harting often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

What new roof snagging looks like in East Harting
About 1.7 miles south-west lies Uppark, a reminder of how long the area around East Harting has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we look at them carefully.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Signs you need new roof snagging in East Harting
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Common reasons to book include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Gaps at new flashings
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking

- Their insurance cover
- When you will get the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours

East Harting questions
Is my home in East Harting listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to East Harting?
Yes, East Harting is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
