Landlord and commercial surveys in Nately Scures

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
New roof snagging in Nately Scures
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’re worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and gaps at new flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges alike.
Older buildings in small places like Nately Scures may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Nately Scures: your questions answered
Do you cover Nately Scures?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Nately Scures is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Nately Scures?
Yes, Nately Scures is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Nately Scures 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.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Photos help, if you have them. 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.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Buying a home or a new roof in Nately Scures
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 4.9 miles north-west lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Nately Scures has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. Take an older house close to Church of St. Nicholas: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
