Do you need new roof snagging in Red Post Bridge?
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Questions to ask before you book
- What experience they bring
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
New roof snagging in Red Post Bridge: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Red Post Bridge and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We are often asked to look into cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and gaps at new flashings, across ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Red Post Bridge, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Red Post Bridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Red Post Bridge?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Red Post Bridge listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Red Post Bridge?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What new roof snagging looks like in Red Post Bridge
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We check it where it can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

What else we do in Red Post Bridge
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Red Post Bridge, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price

Related advice
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
