About our new roof snagging in Mockbeggar
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed signs of condensation in the roof space and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Mockbeggar, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What’s prompted the survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Mockbeggar: your questions answered
Is my home in Mockbeggar listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Mockbeggar in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mockbeggar as anywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit usually takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are 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.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a small place like Mockbeggar, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs frequently have snags at the verges and eaves. We check them closely.
New roof snagging in Mockbeggar: local notes
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For any home in Mockbeggar, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Do you need new roof snagging in Mockbeggar?
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Martins, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What exactly goes into their report
- What follow-up you get after the report
What we do, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Mockbeggar can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
