How new roof snagging works in Harestock
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs alike.
Houses in smaller places like Harestock can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Harestock is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.

Related advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Harestock
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you live in an older home near Saint Barnabas, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

FAQs for Harestock
Do you carry out roof surveys in Harestock?
Yes, Harestock is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Harestock as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Harestock is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Useful tips for Harestock property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check the roof before you pay in full
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a smaller place like Harestock, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
