How new roof snagging works in Headley
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. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Headley, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
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.

FAQs for Headley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Headley?
Yes, Headley is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Headley listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Headley
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Why get it checked now?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Headley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book with us

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Headley frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Common reasons to book include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Headley homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
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.
