New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Little Somborne
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. Typical surveys look at loose or badly finished ridge tiles and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on ridges and verges, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Little Somborne makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

New roof snagging in Little Somborne: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For any home in Little Somborne, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Little Somborne
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Little Somborne 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’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- 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 report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why it is worth a survey now in Little Somborne
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Somborne can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why book with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability

FAQs for Little Somborne
Do you cover smaller places like Little Somborne?
Yes, Little Somborne is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Somborne?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Details hidden from sight
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
