New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hatherden
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. Common reasons to book are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on ridges and verges, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
In a village or hamlet like Hatherden, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Buying a home or a new roof in Hatherden
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Andover station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Useful tips for Hatherden property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. We record any we can see.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hatherden, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent look at the roof
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Surveys seven days a week
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Hatherden, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

What we are asked to look at in Hatherden
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
The streets around a church such as Christchurch are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What experience they bring
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Your questions about new roof snagging in Hatherden
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatherden?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Hatherden within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How do I book a survey in Hatherden?
