New Roof Snagging in Oakshott
We carry out new roof snagging in Oakshott and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Gaps at new flashings
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
New roof snagging in Oakshott: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and debris left in gutters or valleys, on loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
For a small place like Oakshott, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

FAQs for Oakshott
How do I find out if my home in Oakshott is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Oakshott?
Yes, Oakshott is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Useful tips for Oakshott property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Book snagging before the final payment
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
New roof snagging around Oakshott
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Liss station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Oakshott, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- 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
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us where we can park nearby
