Common questions in North Waltham

How do I find out if my home in North Waltham is listed?

Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.

Is North Waltham within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you climb onto every roof?

Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.

Does someone need to be in?

That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?

No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.

How much is new roof snagging?

The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

About our new roof snagging in North Waltham

Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’ve noticed cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it.

For a small place like North Waltham, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.

After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What affects the price in North Waltham

Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:

  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
  • How big the roof is
  • How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
  • The use of thermal imaging or a drone

Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Helping us price your survey

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

  • What kind of property and roof it is
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date
  • Where water is showing inside, if it is
  • The address and postcode of the property

Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

How it works

Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around North Waltham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.

  1. First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
  2. The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
  3. Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
  4. We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
  5. You get a photo report listing the snags we found.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
  • Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
  • Let us know about parking near the property

Arrange a survey

Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Landlords, agents and block managers in North Waltham

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.

Tips from our surveys

Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:

  • Look for marks or cracks left by the work
  • Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
  • Keep the contract and invoices together
  • Send the snagging report to your roofer

How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.

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.

Why act early in North Waltham

Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Outbuildings and barns around North Waltham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

New roof snagging in North Waltham: local notes

Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.

The streets around a church such as Church of St. Michael's are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What you can safely check yourself

Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
