New roof snagging in Fyfield: what you get
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about gutters blocked by building debris and gaps at new flashings.
Somewhere as small as Fyfield, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Fyfield
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fyfield?
Yes, Fyfield is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fyfield?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
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.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Check the roof before you pay in full
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
When to book a survey in Fyfield
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What experience they bring
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Fyfield can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
How to book
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Fyfield
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What affects the price in Fyfield
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
We will normally ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
