New roof snagging in Martin: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Martin and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about tiles or slates sitting out of line and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
Some older homes in villages like Martin are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Martin, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the 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.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What this survey covers
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there is time to raise anything.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
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.
What affects the price in Martin
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

Buying a home or a new roof in Martin
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. 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: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Around Martin, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Martin questions
How do I find out if my home in Martin is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Martin?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
