New roof snagging in Hook: what you get
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. We’re often asked to look into broken coverings left on a new roof and signs of condensation in the roof space, across replacement roofs, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
Houses in smaller places like Hook can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Hook
Is Hook in the area you cover?
Yes, Hook is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Hook?
Yes, Hook is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Blocked gutters on homes around Hook overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
What you get with us

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a smaller place like Hook, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.

New roof snagging around Hook
About 4.8 miles north lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Hook has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Take an older house close to St John the Evangelist: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
