New roof snagging in Little London: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’ve noticed damage to other parts of the building and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it, on new flat roofs, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Little London, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Keep the contract and invoices together
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Pricing the remedial work
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder

New roof snagging in Little London: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Little London is about 3 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Little London and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Across Hampshire, we cover Little London and the places around it. There’s also a page for Southampton.

Why it is worth a survey now in Little London
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Around Little London, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

FAQs for Little London
Do you cover smaller places like Little London?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Little London is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you need new roof snagging in Little London?
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
The streets around a church like Christ Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the survey will not cover
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Are they insured for the work?
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Little London, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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 is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
