About our new roof snagging in Kimpton
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Some older homes in villages like Kimpton are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Kimpton
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Around Kimpton, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Kimpton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Kimpton homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For landlords with property near Grateley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Common questions in Kimpton
Is Kimpton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Kimpton listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Kimpton?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
