Enham Alamein homes and their roofs
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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Saint George, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

New roof snagging in Enham Alamein
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are broken coverings left on a new roof and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Enham Alamein 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. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
When to book a survey in Enham Alamein
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Look out for signs like these:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters blocked by building debris
For landlords with property near Andover station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Enham Alamein
Is Enham Alamein in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Enham Alamein as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Enham Alamein?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Enham Alamein?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
How it works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Enham Alamein, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check the roof before you pay in full
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.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
