New roof snagging in Newton Valence: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy or loose verge details and underlay ending short at the eaves.
Being in a small place like Newton Valence 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, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What this survey cannot tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Whether the roof will leak in future
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
What happens if roof problems are left?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Newton Valence, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Plain-English reports with photos

Newton Valence: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Newton Valence is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Newton Valence?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Prices for new roof snagging in Newton Valence
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How big the roof is

Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Newton Valence, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

New roof snagging in Newton Valence: local notes
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. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Newton Valence is about 4 miles south of Alton, in Hampshire. In Newton Valence, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Newton Valence is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. Portsmouth is in our area too.
