New roof snagging in Hatchet Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. If you’ve noticed vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and untidy or loose verge details, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new flat roofs alike.
Being in a small place like Hatchet Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Hatchet Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Hatchet Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hatchet Green as anywhere else.
Is my home in Hatchet Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Hatchet Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.

What else we do in Hatchet Green
Local roofs and buyers in Hatchet Green
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Breamore House about 2.6 miles west, Hatchet Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Hatchet Green is in Hampshire. Whether the building in Hatchet Green is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Across Hampshire, we cover Hatchet Green and the places around it. Southampton is in our area too.

Common roof problems in Hatchet Green
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Untidy or loose verge details
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Outbuildings and barns around Hatchet Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why us?
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Prices that include VAT
- 98% of clients satisfied
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Details hidden from sight
- What’s under the new coverings
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Hatchet Green
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check before your warranty period ends
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Hatchet Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
