What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
New roof snagging in Sparsholt
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. We survey ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and damage to other parts of the building.
Being in a small place like Sparsholt makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

New roof snagging in Sparsholt: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Winchester station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Stephen are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Common questions in Sparsholt
How do I find out if my home in Sparsholt is listed?
We cannot 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.
Will you come out to Sparsholt?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.

What else we do in Sparsholt
Surveys for landlords and agents in Sparsholt
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
How we price new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Look for new stains after a downpour
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Sparsholt needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
