New roof snagging around High Cross
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

About our new roof snagging in High Cross
We carry out new roof snagging in High Cross and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at gutters blocked by building debris and untidy or loose verge details, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like High Cross 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 as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like High Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Outbuildings and barns around High Cross are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
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.

High Cross questions
Is High Cross in the area you cover?
Yes, High Cross is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is High Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. High Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Pricing the remedial work
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Whether the roof will leak in future
