- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Damage to other parts of the building
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around South Wonston often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, like 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.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check pets are kept safely away

New roof snagging in South Wonston: what you get
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
Somewhere as small as South Wonston, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why it is worth a survey now in South Wonston
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. In a small place like South Wonston, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- An independent look at the roof
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Prices for new roof snagging in South Wonston
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Useful tips for South Wonston property owners
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
Do you need new roof snagging in South Wonston?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For an older house near a landmark like St Margaret's, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their insurance cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Buying a home or a new roof in South Wonston
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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.
