New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Mapledurwell
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We are frequently asked to look into untidy or loose verge details and underlay ending short at the eaves, across replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Mapledurwell may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The address and postcode of the property
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
Questions from Mapledurwell
Is my home in Mapledurwell listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Mapledurwell?
Yes, Mapledurwell is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you look in the loft space?
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.

What else we do in Mapledurwell
Mapledurwell homes and their roofs
The wider area around Mapledurwell has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 4.4 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near Hook station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a small place like Mapledurwell, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
