New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Headbourne Worthy
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. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey ridges and verges, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are untidy or loose verge details and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Being in a small place like Headbourne Worthy 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. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
How we price new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We will normally ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check before your warranty period ends
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
New roof snagging around Headbourne Worthy
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
