Kingsley New Roof Snagging
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Kingsley? We carry out new roof snagging in Kingsley and across Hampshire.
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Damage to other parts of the building
How new roof snagging works in Kingsley
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. Common reasons to book are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes.
Being in a small place like Kingsley makes no difference to the inspection itself: 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, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Buying a home or a new roof in Kingsley
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Prices for new roof snagging in Kingsley
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Kingsley, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Kingsley questions
How do I find out if my home in Kingsley is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Kingsley?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
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. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
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.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
You receive a written report with photographs of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there is time to raise anything.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
