How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
New roof snagging in Hyde: what you get
Our report records what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed untidy or loose verge details and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Around Hyde, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a survey in Hyde, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- 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.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common questions in Hyde
Will you come out to Hyde?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is Hyde in the area you cover?
Yes, Hyde is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hyde as anywhere else.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
New roof snagging in Hyde: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Bartholomew's Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so a new slate roof should be laid well. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What we are asked to look at in Hyde
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
For landlords with property near Winchester station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before booking any roof surveyor
