New roof snagging in Hill Brow: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Hill Brow are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

New roof snagging around Hill Brow
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. The streets around a church such as Rake Mission Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Hill Brow questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hill Brow?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hill Brow is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
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, but we check everything we can see safely.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What new roof snagging does not cover
It is a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:

For an older or listed building in a place like Hill Brow, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Hill Brow, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

Advice
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep warranty papers safe
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. Leftover debris is recorded.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
