New roof snagging in Michelmersh
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed gaps at new flashings and gutters blocked by building debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers alike.
For a small place like Michelmersh, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Michelmersh
How do I find out if my home in Michelmersh is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Michelmersh?
Yes, Michelmersh is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Michelmersh as anywhere else.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. Fitted vents are checked.
Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In a place like Michelmersh, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Prices that include VAT
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

New roof snagging around Michelmersh
With Mottisfont Abbey about 1.2 miles north-west, Michelmersh sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. 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 Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Michelmersh, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
