New roof snagging in Hookwood
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Being in a small place like Hookwood 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 seven days a week.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Hookwood homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. 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 the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church like Church of St Bartholomew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

FAQs for Hookwood
Is Hookwood in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Hookwood?
Yes, Hookwood is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Hookwood, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags frequently show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Why get it checked now?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where applicable. Around Hookwood, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
