How new roof snagging works in Mattingley
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and poorly finished verges, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Mattingley, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What new roof snagging looks like in Mattingley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 3.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Mattingley goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Mattingley
How do I find out if my home in Mattingley 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 cover smaller places like Mattingley?
Yes, Mattingley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
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.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Mattingley
Photos from ground level rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. For older village homes like those around Mattingley, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
For a price for your roof in Mattingley, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Mattingley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
