New roof snagging in Knights Enham
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. We’re often asked to look into tiles or slates sitting out of line and underlay ending short at the eaves, across new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Knights Enham may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Buying a home or a new roof in Knights Enham
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. Fitted vents are looked at.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
The survey, 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 between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Knights Enham 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 start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- 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 we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Common questions in Knights Enham
Will you come out to Knights Enham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Knights Enham?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Knights Enham is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.

Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Diary the defects period end date
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
