What this survey cannot tell you

- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Estimates of what fixes will cost

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Headley Down
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. Common reasons to book are underlay ending short at the eaves and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Around Headley Down, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- House, block, shop or office
- Height and safe access
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What else we do in Headley Down
Surveys for landlords and agents in Headley Down
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it is visible.
Useful tips for Headley Down property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
What new roof snagging looks like in Headley Down
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

- 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.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
