What affects the cost of new roof snagging
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- House, block, shop or office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
We’ll typically ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

How new roof snagging works in Soberton
Our snagging inspections cover Soberton and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Soberton may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we can’t see

- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- What’s under the new coverings

Roofs we survey in Soberton
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Do you need new roof snagging in Soberton?
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Gutters blocked by building debris
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What experience they bring
New roof snagging around Soberton
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
In and around Soberton, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

What else we do in Soberton
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Soberton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
