New roof snagging in Picket Twenty, Hampshire
New roof snagging across Picket Twenty, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Picket Twenty
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
Some older homes in villages like Picket Twenty are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Picket Twenty can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.
New roof snagging around Picket Twenty
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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For an older house near a landmark like United Reformed Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

FAQs for Picket Twenty
Is my home in Picket Twenty listed or in a conservation area?
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 smaller places like Picket Twenty?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How do I book a survey in Picket Twenty?
To book, 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 find a day that suits.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
