New roof snagging for homes and businesses in East Stratton
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’re worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like East Stratton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

East Stratton questions
Do you cover smaller places like East Stratton?
Yes. East Stratton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is East Stratton in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in East Stratton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
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.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. We record any we can see.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For an older or listed building in a place like East Stratton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

New roof snagging around East Stratton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Micheldever station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near East Stratton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as 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.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
