New roof snagging in Hurst: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are poorly finished verges and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Hurst may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Hurst
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Hurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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 is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

- Damage to other parts of the building
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter

FAQs for Hurst
Is Hurst in the area you cover?
Yes, Hurst is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Hurst?
Yes, Hurst is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Hurst?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a close look.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. For an older or listed building in a place like Hurst, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

Local roofs and buyers in Hurst
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Whatever the street in Hurst, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
