What new roof snagging looks like in Milland
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 4.7 miles south-east lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Milland has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

About our new roof snagging in Milland
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you are worried about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and damage to other parts of the building, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Somewhere as small as Milland, 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. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Milland
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Poorly finished verges
The streets around a church such as Tuxlith Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What new roof snagging does not cover
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Whether the roof will leak in future
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Questions from Milland
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Milland?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Milland within the area you cover?
Yes, Milland is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Milland, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book

Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Milland
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
