New roof snagging in Hartley Wintney: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Landlords with a home close to Winchfield station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark like St John's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

New roof snagging in Hartley Wintney
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Houses in smaller places like Hartley Wintney can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
What affects the price in Hartley Wintney
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hartley Wintney
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Hartley Wintney: your questions answered
Do you cover Hartley Wintney?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Hartley Wintney within the area you cover?
Yes. Hartley Wintney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Around Hartley Wintney, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- PI and public liability insurance
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Package prices that include VAT
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like Hartley Wintney, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- 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’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
