New roof snagging in Lindford: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Common reasons to book are broken coverings left on a new roof and poorly finished verges, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Around Lindford, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Lindford
Is my home in Lindford listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Lindford?
Yes, Lindford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
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.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What new roof snagging looks like in Lindford
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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 Church of All Saints, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Lindford, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price

Why it’s worth a survey now in Lindford
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. With lower homes, common in places like Lindford, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
