New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Farringdon
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you are worried about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new-build homes alike.
For a small place like Farringdon, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

New roof snagging around Farringdon
About 3.7 miles north-west lies Bentworth Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Farringdon has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Alton station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Farringdon is about 3 miles south of Alton, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Farringdon as part of our work across London and South East England. Our Hampshire coverage includes Farringdon. You can also see our page for Guildford.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Farringdon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Farringdon: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Farringdon is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Farringdon?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Farringdon is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
- Legal advice on your contract
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Farringdon
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. Fitted vents are looked at.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we check them carefully.
Why it is worth a survey now in Farringdon
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Outbuildings and barns around Farringdon are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
