About our new roof snagging in Nob's Crook
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. Common reasons to book are damage to other parts of the building and gaps at new flashings, across replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Being in a small place like Nob's Crook makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

New roof snagging around Nob's Crook
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. South Stoneham House, about 4.6 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nob's Crook. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Common roof problems in Nob's Crook
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Landlords with a home close to Eastleigh station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their track record with similar roofs
For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Landlords and letting agents in Nob's Crook book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Nob's Crook often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
FAQs for Nob's Crook
Is Nob's Crook within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Nob's Crook is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nob's Crook can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
