About our new roof snagging in Morestead
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. If you are worried about tiles or slates sitting out of line and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Morestead makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local roofs and buyers in Morestead
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Morestead Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What’s near Morestead

Common roof problems in Morestead
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Landlords with a home close to Shawford station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Questions to ask before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is VAT included in the price?

Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we look at them closely.
Morestead: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Morestead?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 Morestead in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Morestead is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you check 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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Morestead needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check we can get to the back of the property
