New roof snagging in South Harewood: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in South Harewood and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and new-build homes alike.
Being in a small place like South Harewood makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Diary the defects period end date
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.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.

Local roofs and buyers in South Harewood
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
In and around South Harewood, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early. For landlords with property near Andover station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

South Harewood questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Harewood?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. 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 Harewood?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near South Harewood 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
