What we’re asked to look at in New Alresford
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Gaps at new flashings
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Untidy or loose verge details
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether VAT is added on top
About our new roof snagging in New Alresford
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 leaves time to raise what we find. 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 flat roofs and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Around New Alresford, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

New roof snagging in New Alresford: local notes
Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House, about 3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around New Alresford goes. Older homes in the wider area often 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Blocked gutters on homes around New Alresford overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like New Alresford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
