New roof snagging in Isington: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Somewhere as small as Isington, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
What affects the price in Isington
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages

- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we will tell you which fits.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

Common questions in Isington
Is my home in Isington listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Isington?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Isington is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
New roof snagging in Isington: local notes
The wider area around Isington has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4.6 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Isington is about 4 miles north-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Isington gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful look at what can be seen safely, photographs and a clear written report. Isington is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. Guildford is in our area too.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Isington
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Isington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Why it’s worth a survey now in Isington
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Isington, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Why book with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Photographs and a written report every time
