New roof snagging in Long Sutton: what you get
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or blocked roof ventilation and gutters blocked by building debris.
Some older homes in villages like Long Sutton are listed or sit 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 is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What new roof snagging looks like in Long Sutton
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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is VAT included in the price?
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The property’s address and postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Long Sutton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go 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 looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Advice
When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Legal advice on your contract
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Long Sutton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Common questions in Long Sutton
Is Long Sutton in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Long Sutton is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Long Sutton listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
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, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
