How new roof snagging works in Hatchford
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Some older homes in villages like Hatchford are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Hatchford
How do I find out if my home in Hatchford is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Hatchford?
Yes, Hatchford is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Hatchford?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Hatchford, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Hatchford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

When you need someone else
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Details hidden from sight
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

New roof snagging around Hatchford

Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
