Hattingley New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags around Hattingley, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Untidy or loose verge details
What we’re asked to look at in Hattingley
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Andrew, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
New roof snagging in Hattingley
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Some older homes in villages like Hattingley are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Several things affect the price of a survey:

- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.

What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: 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 roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Hattingley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Hattingley questions
Is Hattingley within the area you cover?
Yes, Hattingley is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you cover Hattingley?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hattingley as anywhere else.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Hattingley?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Buying a home or a new roof in Hattingley
With Bentworth Hall about 1.9 miles north-east, Hattingley 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, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
