New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Inhurst
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers alike.
For a small place like Inhurst, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What new roof snagging looks like in Inhurst
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Saint Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we do, step by step
We don’t 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 roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Inhurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, such as 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Advice
Common questions in Inhurst
Is Inhurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Inhurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Inhurst is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
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 drop us an email.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.

- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes

Why act early in Inhurst
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Inhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

What else we do in Inhurst
Do you need new roof snagging in Inhurst?
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
