About our new roof snagging in Salters Heath
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. Common reasons to book are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Salters Heath are listed or sit 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’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Common questions in Salters Heath
Is Salters Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Salters Heath?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
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.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Salters Heath
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Why get it checked now?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Outbuildings and barns around Salters Heath are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Why us?
- PI and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ surveys completed

New roof snagging around Salters Heath
The wider area around Salters Heath has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 1.5 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Pamber Priory, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Salters Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey

Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.

Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
