About our new roof snagging in Exton
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed untidy or loose verge details and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Exton may be listed or 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’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

FAQs for Exton
Do you cover Exton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Exton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Exton?
Yes. Exton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
New roof snagging in Exton: local notes
The wider area around Exton has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.2 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Outbuildings and barns around Exton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

What affects the price in Exton
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Around Exton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
