Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Book snagging before the final payment
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.

New roof snagging in Hurstbourne Priors
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’re worried about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and untidy or loose verge details, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Hurstbourne Priors makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. 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. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
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.

When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Hurstbourne Priors often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
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, which helps when budgeting.
Hurstbourne Priors questions
Do you cover Hurstbourne Priors?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hurstbourne Priors as anywhere else.
Is Hurstbourne Priors within the area you cover?
Yes, Hurstbourne Priors is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

Hurstbourne Priors homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
