How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Hound Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- 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.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

New roof snagging in Hound Green: what you get
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 loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Being in a small place like Hound Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What affects the price in Hound Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Hound Green
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

Hound Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hound Green?
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.
Will you come out to Hound Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Hound Green homes and their roofs
About 2.4 miles north-west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Hound Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you live in an older home near Mattingley Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. In a small place like Hound Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
