Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. They’re photographed for the report.
New roof snagging in Longparish: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. If you’ve noticed signs of condensation in the roof space and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Longparish 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 when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

FAQs for Longparish
Do you cover Longparish?
Yes, Longparish is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Longparish within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a small place like Longparish, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What affects the cost of new roof snagging

- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see

- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

New roof snagging in Longparish: local notes
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own a rental within reach of Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

When to book a survey in Longparish
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
Look out for signs like these:
- Poorly finished verges
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Why act early in Longparish
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a small place like Longparish, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
