About our new roof snagging in Stoke
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed gutters or fascias damaged during the job and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Stoke may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
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.

Local roofs and buyers in Stoke
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Stoke is about 5 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. We provide new roof snagging for householders, landlords and businesses in Stoke and nearby. Across Hampshire, we cover Stoke and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it is applicable. Older and listed buildings around Stoke may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in Stoke
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- An independent look at the roof
- 20+ years’ experience

What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Stoke often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

When to book a survey in Stoke
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in at the first heavy rain.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Poorly finished verges
Around Stoke, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How soon the report will arrive
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Stoke: your questions answered
Will you come out to Stoke?
Yes, Stoke is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Stoke listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We will give you an idea as you book.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
