Thedden homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Bentworth Hall, about 1 mile west, show how far back building in the area around Thedden goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

About our new roof snagging in Thedden
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and people most frequently book us about gutters blocked by building debris and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Thedden are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Common questions in Thedden
How do I find out if my home in Thedden 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.
Will you come out to Thedden?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Thedden?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Thedden can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
How to book
If you are 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 phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
What this survey cannot tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- What’s under the new coverings
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
What we need to know
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
For a price for new roof snagging in Thedden, phone 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us give you an accurate price.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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 do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Why it is worth a survey now in Thedden
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. For an older or listed building in a place like Thedden, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
