Common questions in Odiham
Will you come out to Odiham?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Odiham?
Yes, Odiham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Odiham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
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 also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
New roof snagging in Odiham: what you get
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. If you are worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Odiham, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In an older home around Odiham, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Why book us in Odiham
- Visits on any day of the week
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

Odiham homes and their roofs
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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near All Saints Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed and get a careful look.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Odiham is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Book snagging before the final payment
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Odiham
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- What’s under the new coverings
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Pricing the remedial work
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
