- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Untidy or loose verge details

The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Hollington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

New roof snagging in Hollington
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you are worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Hollington, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the cost of 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
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Hollington
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
If you own a rental within reach of Kintbury station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Hollington questions
Will you come out to Hollington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hollington?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Hollington is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Hollington?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot 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.
Why it is worth a survey now in Hollington
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a place like Hollington, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Local roofs and buyers in Hollington
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Stargroves, about 0.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hollington. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Thomas: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
