Your questions about new roof snagging in Horton Heath
Is Horton Heath in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Horton Heath as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Horton Heath?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
New roof snagging in Horton Heath
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Horton Heath, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Horton Heath. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Horton Heath
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Why it is worth a survey now in Horton Heath
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In an older home around Horton Heath, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.

What we are asked to look at in Horton Heath
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Landlords with a home close to Hedge End station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
New roof snagging around Horton Heath
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With South Stoneham House about 3.7 miles west, Horton Heath sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. They’re photographed for the report.
The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Horton Heath, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
