About our new roof snagging in Hambledon
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Hambledon, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hambledon
Is Hambledon in the area you cover?
Yes, Hambledon is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hambledon as anywhere else.
Is Hambledon within the area you cover?
Yes, Hambledon is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
New roof snagging around Hambledon
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
In and around Hambledon, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
