How new roof snagging works in South Harting
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like South Harting are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about new roof snagging in South Harting
Is South Harting within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Harting?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

South Harting homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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. About 1.2 miles south-west lies Uppark, a reminder of how long the area around South Harting has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Prices for new roof snagging in South Harting

A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch

If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep the contract and invoices together
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like South Harting, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
