About our new roof snagging in Foxcotte
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Somewhere as small as Foxcotte, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Foxcotte, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
Foxcotte questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Foxcotte?
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.
Is Foxcotte in the area you cover?
Yes, Foxcotte is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Landlords and agents in Foxcotte book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Foxcotte homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St Thomas, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Do you need new roof snagging in Foxcotte?
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- When you’ll get the report
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
