New roof snagging in Over Wallop, Hampshire
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Over Wallop, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Over Wallop, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

About our new roof snagging in Over Wallop
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you’re worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Over Wallop may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Over Wallop
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In a small place like Over Wallop, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Over Wallop questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Over Wallop?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Over Wallop?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Keep warranty papers safe
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.

What we look for on each type of roof

Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
What new roof snagging looks like in Over Wallop
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. 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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Grateley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
