New roof snagging in Grateley: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. 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 damage to other parts of the building and debris left in gutters or valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and new flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Grateley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:

- What’s under the new coverings

New roof snagging around Grateley
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Other services in Grateley
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a small place like Grateley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

FAQs for Grateley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Grateley?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Grateley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
When to book a survey in Grateley
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Gaps at new flashings
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
