New roof snagging in The Mint, Hampshire
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in The Mint, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
New roof snagging in The Mint: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Some older homes in villages like The Mint 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. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Buying a home or a new roof in The Mint
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Take an older house close to Hope Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Your questions about new roof snagging in The Mint
Will you come out to The Mint?
Yes, The Mint is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in The Mint?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in The Mint?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near The Mint can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Related advice
Why get it checked now?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Older cottages and farmhouses around The Mint can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book us in The Mint
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
