New roof snagging in Ludgershall, Hampshire
Independent new roof snagging in Ludgershall. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
New roof snagging in Ludgershall
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. If you are worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and untidy or loose verge details, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Ludgershall, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Buying a home or a new roof in Ludgershall
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For any home in Ludgershall, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
Ludgershall is about 7 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. We carry out new roof snagging for householders, landlords and businesses in Ludgershall and nearby. Ludgershall is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for new roof snagging. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to a smaller place like Ludgershall is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What we’re asked to look at in Ludgershall
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Are they insured for the work?
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Common questions in Ludgershall
How do I find out if my home in Ludgershall is listed?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ludgershall?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Ludgershall is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s 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?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
