New roof snagging in South Gorley, Hampshire
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in South Gorley. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Damage to other parts of the building
When to book a survey in South Gorley
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Ascension are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
New roof snagging in South Gorley
We carry out new roof snagging in South Gorley and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We’re often asked to look into untidy or loose verge details and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
For a small place like South Gorley, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We look at it where it can be seen.
Common questions in South Gorley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Gorley?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to South Gorley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
How do I book a survey in South Gorley?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What new roof snagging looks like in South Gorley
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Whatever the street in South Gorley, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near South Gorley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
