Why it is worth a survey now in Filmore Hill
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Older cottages and farmhouses around Filmore Hill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Photos and a written report every time
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys seven days a week

How new roof snagging works in Filmore Hill
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you’ve noticed cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Filmore Hill, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for Filmore Hill
How do I find out if my home in Filmore Hill is listed?
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.
Is Filmore Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Filmore Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Local roofs and buyers in Filmore Hill
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 4.2 miles west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Filmore Hill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Filmore Hill
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- A promise that the roof will not leak
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
