Independent new roof snagging in Hazeley

Hazeley: your questions answered

Will you come out to Hazeley?

Yes, Hazeley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

Do you carry out roof surveys in Hazeley?

Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Hazeley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.

Do you look in the loft space?

If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

Do you use drones?

Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.

Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?

No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.

How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?

Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hazeley

Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.

In a village or hamlet like Hazeley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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.

The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need new roof snagging in Hazeley?

Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.

Things that often lead to a survey include:

  • Damage to other parts of the building
  • Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
  • Missing or blocked roof ventilation
  • Flashings not properly dressed or fixed

If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Before booking anyone

  • Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
  • What exactly goes into their report
  • How much experience they have with roofs like yours
  • Are they insured for the work?

What a good roof survey covers

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.

How the survey works

The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Hazeley, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

  1. We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
  2. The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
  3. We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
  4. We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
  5. You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Before the survey

  • For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
  • Keep pets in another room
  • If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Booking a survey

Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Advice

What this survey cannot tell you

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:

  • Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
  • Estimates of what fixes will cost
  • How the roof will perform for years to come

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.

Buying a home or a new roof in Hazeley

Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Stratfield Saye House, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hazeley. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

For an older house near a landmark like Mattingley Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Hazeley is about 4 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. In Hazeley, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Hazeley is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for new roof snagging. You can also see our page for Reading.

Different roofs, different checks

Flashings

Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.

Slate roofs

Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hazeley

Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
