New roof snagging in Minley: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Minley and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at untidy or loose verge details and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across replacement roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Somewhere as small as Minley, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Useful tips for Minley property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep warranty papers safe
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Legal advice on your contract
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
Prices for new roof snagging in Minley
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Minley homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Andrew, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Fleet station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Minley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Minley: your questions answered
Is my home in Minley listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Minley?
Yes, Minley is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.

We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
