What happens if roof problems are left?
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Around Farleigh Wallop, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

New roof snagging in Farleigh Wallop: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Common reasons to book are signs of condensation in the roof space and untidy or loose verge details, on flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
For a small place like Farleigh Wallop, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Farleigh Wallop: your questions answered
Is my home in Farleigh Wallop listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Farleigh Wallop, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- 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.

New roof snagging around Farleigh Wallop

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
