How new roof snagging works in Nether Wallop
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
In a village or hamlet like Nether Wallop, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What we are asked to look at in Nether Wallop
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the price includes VAT
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
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 it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Nether Wallop 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.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Getting a price

Advice
New roof snagging in Nether Wallop: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
