How new roof snagging works in Laverstoke
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and broken coverings left on a new roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Laverstoke, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Laverstoke questions
Do you cover smaller places like Laverstoke?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Laverstoke?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Laverstoke?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Laverstoke needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. In a place like Laverstoke, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Plain-English reports with photos

What affects the price in Laverstoke
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages

- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by

Laverstoke homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like St Nicholas' Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

When to book a survey in Laverstoke
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you own a rental within reach of Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Before booking anyone
