About our new roof snagging in Hunton
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you are worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hunton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Common questions in Hunton
Do you cover Hunton?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Hunton is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Hunton is listed?
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.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Hunton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Advice
When to book a survey in Hunton
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their insurance cover
What happens if roof problems are left?
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. For an older or listed building in a place like Hunton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Visits on any day of the week

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
What new roof snagging looks like in Hunton
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
