New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hare Hatch
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about untidy or loose verge details and broken coverings left on a new roof.
Older buildings in small places like Hare Hatch may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Buying a home or a new roof in Hare Hatch
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Harleyford Manor about 4.3 miles north, Hare Hatch sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near Wargrave station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hare Hatch
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hare Hatch?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Hare Hatch in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Hare Hatch is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for new stains after a downpour
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Hare Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.

- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey

Why it is worth a survey now in Hare Hatch
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Hare Hatch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Package prices that include VAT
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- 98% of customers satisfied

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What affects the price in Hare Hatch
To price your survey, we check:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
