Longmoor New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Longmoor and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Common roof problems in Longmoor
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Longmoor
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of 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. We are often asked to look into ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and underlay at the eaves left exposed, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes.
Some older homes in villages like Longmoor 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’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

New roof snagging in Longmoor: 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For any home in Longmoor, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
Longmoor is about 3 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Bookings from Longmoor are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Longmoor is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

When you need someone else
It’s a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- What’s under the new coverings
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
FAQs for Longmoor
Is Longmoor in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Longmoor is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Longmoor?
Yes. Longmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. For older village homes like those around Longmoor, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Longmoor, 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 the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is 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.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft
