New Roof Snagging in Ibsley
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Ibsley. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.

What affects the price in Ibsley
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- What made you get in touch

- Any marks or damp showing indoors

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Ibsley
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and gaps at new flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Ibsley are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Ibsley, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Your questions about new roof snagging in Ibsley
Will you come out to Ibsley?
Yes. Ibsley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is Ibsley in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Ibsley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Ibsley homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
The streets around a church like Church of St Martins are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Around Ibsley, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What you can safely check yourself
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.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.

Why act early in Ibsley
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. In a place like Ibsley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
