New roof snagging in Stroud
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Stroud, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, 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.

FAQs for Stroud
How do I find out if my home in Stroud is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Stroud in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Stroud is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are looked at.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Stroud, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.

New roof snagging in Stroud: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
The streets around a church such as Stroud Mission Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
