Why it’s worth a survey now in Sutton Scotney
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sutton Scotney, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Plain-English reports with photos
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

New roof snagging in Sutton Scotney
We carry out new roof snagging in Sutton Scotney and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Sutton Scotney are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What affects the price in Sutton Scotney
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Sutton Scotney can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room

FAQs for Sutton Scotney
Is my home in Sutton Scotney listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Do you cover Sutton Scotney?
Yes, Sutton Scotney is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Local roofs and buyers in Sutton Scotney
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
Take an older house close to Ebenezer Methodist Chapel: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
