New roof snagging in Fleet
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It’s all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you are worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a town like Fleet, older streets typically sit alongside post-war and newer estates. Older roofs are frequently slate or clay tile, and many later houses have concrete interlocking tiles. Whether you are buying or have just had a new roof, the checks depend on which you have, from fixings and underlay to ridges and valleys. What sits under the tiles, from old felt to modern membranes, matters as much as the tiles themselves.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Common roof problems in Fleet
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, particularly when the weather is against them.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Untidy or loose verge details
For an older house near a landmark like Fleet Methodist Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Fleet
Is my home in Fleet listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I need to do before a survey in Fleet?
Clear the way to the loft hatch if there is one, and let us know about any leaks, stains or past repairs. Parking and access details for Fleet help us plan the visit.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

New roof snagging in Fleet: local notes
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Fleet goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Fleet station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Useful tips for Fleet property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
