Common roof problems in Stoke Charity
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
How new roof snagging works in Stoke Charity
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you are worried about untidy or loose verge details and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Stoke Charity, the visit is planned like any other: 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. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Stoke Charity questions
Is Stoke Charity in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Stoke Charity is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke Charity?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Does this replace a RICS home 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.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stoke Charity
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Stoke Charity
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. For older village homes like those around Stoke Charity, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Stoke Charity, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- 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.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
New roof snagging in Stoke Charity: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
