New roof snagging in Old Alresford
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Common reasons to book are underlay at the eaves left exposed and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Old Alresford, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. 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, 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.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Old Alresford
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Old Alresford, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Old Alresford questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Old Alresford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Old Alresford as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Old Alresford is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. For an older or listed building in a place like Old Alresford, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer 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.
What you get with us

- Over 20 years’ experience

Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep warranty papers safe
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
