New roof snagging for homes and businesses in North Warnborough
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s 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 to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Common reasons to book are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and missing or blocked roof ventilation, across replacement roofs, new-build homes and new flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like North Warnborough, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

New roof snagging in North Warnborough: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. 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.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
North Warnborough: your questions answered
Is North Warnborough within the area you cover?
Yes, North Warnborough is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover North Warnborough?
Yes, North Warnborough is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in North Warnborough as anywhere else.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why act early in North Warnborough
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like North Warnborough, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a village or hamlet like North Warnborough, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
