New roof snagging in Murrell Green
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about damage to other parts of the building and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Murrell Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You receive the findings 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.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.

What new roof snagging looks like in Murrell Green
About 4.9 miles north-west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Murrell Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
What we cannot see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Details hidden from sight
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

When to book a survey in Murrell Green
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
Problems we come across often include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What follow-up you get after the report
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Murrell Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

How much is new roof snagging?

How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
