New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Soldridge
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Older buildings in small places like Soldridge may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Soldridge
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Untidy or loose verge details
The streets around a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
Buying a home or a new roof in Soldridge
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Bentworth Hall about 2.8 miles north, Soldridge sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Soldridge is about 5 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Soldridge is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. Southampton is in our area too.
We work across the GU34 postcode area for new roof snagging. Whether your property is on Upper Soldridge Road, Rookwood Lane and Soldridge Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Close by, we survey roofs in Medstead (1 mile north-east), Four Marks (1 mile east), South Town (1 mile north), Hattingley (2 miles north) and New Copse (2 miles north). Further out, we also cover Basingstoke (11 miles north), Winchester (11 miles west), Eastleigh (15 miles south-west), Fleet (15 miles north-east), Horndean (14 miles south) and Alton (5 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Soldridge
Nearby you’ll also find Alton Community Hospital (4.1 miles north-east) and Barton Castle (2.7 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Red Hill.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

FAQs for Soldridge
Is my home in Soldridge 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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Soldridge?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Soldridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
