Your questions about new roof snagging in Eversley Cross
Is my home in Eversley Cross listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Eversley Cross?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Eversley Cross is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
New roof snagging in Eversley Cross: what you get
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Eversley Cross, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Useful tips for Eversley Cross property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Check before your warranty period ends
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Eversley Cross, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
Local roofs and buyers in Eversley Cross
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you let a flat or house near Crowthorne station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What else we do in Eversley Cross
When to book a survey in Eversley Cross
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Problems we come across often include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Gaps at new flashings
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book anyone
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. For older village homes like those around Eversley Cross, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
