New roof snagging in Northbrook, Hampshire
An experienced roof surveyor for new roof snagging in Northbrook. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gaps at new flashings
- Untidy or loose verge details
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
New roof snagging in Northbrook: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. If you’ve noticed gaps at new flashings and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
For a small place like Northbrook, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Northbrook
Will you come out to Northbrook?
Yes. Northbrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Northbrook?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Northbrook can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. They’re photographed for the report.
Local roofs and buyers in Northbrook
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Micheldever station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Whether the roof will leak in future

Useful tips for Northbrook property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for new stains after a downpour
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Prices for new roof snagging in Northbrook
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
