How we price new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.

New roof snagging in Finkley: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. 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. If you’ve noticed cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Finkley, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Finkley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Outbuildings and barns around Finkley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

What new roof snagging looks like in Finkley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
