- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Easton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.

How new roof snagging works in Easton
We carry out new roof snagging in Easton and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are verge tiles or slates not secured and gaps at new flashings, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Easton are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We check them closely.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a place like Easton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Easton
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- Over 20 years’ experience
When to book a survey in Easton
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What new roof snagging looks like in Easton
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Pricing the remedial work

Easton questions
Will you come out to Easton?
Yes, Easton is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Easton?
Yes, Easton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
