About our new roof snagging in Monkwood
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and underlay ending short at the eaves, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Monkwood may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs and buyers in Monkwood
About 4.8 miles west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Monkwood has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
If you live in an older home near Monkwood Mission Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
How the survey works
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. All told, expect about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Monkwood, access is usually 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 be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are looked at closely.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We check it where it’s visible.
