New Roof Snagging in Middle Wallop
Get a clear view of the new roof at a property in Middle Wallop. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Middle Wallop can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Advice
New roof snagging in Middle Wallop
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and damage to other parts of the building.
Some older homes in villages like Middle Wallop 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’s worth knowing which applies, 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. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Book snagging before the final payment
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Around Middle Wallop, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Questions from Middle Wallop
Is my home in Middle Wallop listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Middle Wallop?
Yes, Middle Wallop is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.

What new roof snagging looks like in Middle Wallop
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
