How new roof snagging works in Ladwell
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 describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’re worried about poorly finished verges and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
Older buildings in small places like Ladwell may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

- Whether the roof will leak in future

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Ladwell can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Older and listed buildings around Ladwell may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. We record any we can see.
Buying a home or a new roof in Ladwell
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Ladwell: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Ladwell is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ladwell?
Yes, Ladwell is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
