FAQs for Knightwood
Do you cover smaller places like Knightwood?
Yes, Knightwood is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Knightwood is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I book a survey in Knightwood?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
About our new roof snagging in Knightwood
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’re worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Knightwood, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed and get a proper look.
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a survey in Knightwood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Useful tips for Knightwood property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.

Local roofs and buyers in Knightwood
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Knightwood has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 3.7 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Chandlers Ford station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Francis, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
