Common questions in Nursted
Is Nursted in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Nursted as anywhere else.
Is my home in Nursted listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you go up 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 it applies let us see the rest.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
New roof snagging in Nursted: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. 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. We are frequently asked to look into broken coverings left on a new roof and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Nursted, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Buying a home or a new roof in Nursted
About 2.5 miles south-east lies Uppark, a reminder of how long the area around Nursted has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Nursted
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. 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.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Nursted

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Poorly finished verges
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
For landlords with property near Petersfield station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the survey won’t cover
- How long the report takes to arrive
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Nursted, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
