About our new roof snagging in Shipton Bellinger
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. Typical surveys look at loose or badly finished ridge tiles and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Shipton Bellinger 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 is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Shipton Bellinger, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- 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 photo-illustrated written report.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Surveys for landlords and agents in Shipton Bellinger
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Common questions in Shipton Bellinger
Is Shipton Bellinger in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Shipton Bellinger is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Is Shipton Bellinger within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for new stains after a downpour
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.

New roof snagging around Shipton Bellinger
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Do you need new roof snagging in Shipton Bellinger?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
