About our new roof snagging in Elvetham Heath
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at offcuts and broken tiles left behind and signs of condensation in the roof space, across ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Houses in smaller places like Elvetham Heath can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Elvetham Heath
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
The streets around a church such as Church on the Heath are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Elvetham Heath homes and their roofs
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Landlords with a home close to Fleet station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Common questions in Elvetham Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Elvetham Heath?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Elvetham Heath?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Elvetham Heath is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos. As for time on site, it usually takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Parking around Elvetham Heath is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
Honest limits
