Questions from Sherfield on Loddon
Will you come out to Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Sherfield on Loddon in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Sherfield on Loddon is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
New roof snagging in Sherfield on Loddon
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Sherfield on Loddon, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Buying a home or a new roof in Sherfield on Loddon
Stratfield Saye House, about 2.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sherfield on Loddon. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Church of St. Leonard: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- File all paperwork for the new roof
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a close look.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Sherfield on Loddon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
