About our new roof snagging in Ramsdean
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 including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and gutters blocked by building debris.
Some older homes in villages like Ramsdean 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’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How we price new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

Ramsdean homes and their roofs
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Ramsdean questions
Will you come out to Ramsdean?
Yes. Ramsdean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Ramsdean is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s 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.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.

What else we do in Ramsdean
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Ramsdean, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- 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.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
