New roof snagging in Tidworth: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are debris left in gutters or valleys and underlay at the eaves left exposed, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
Smaller places like Tidworth often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Tidworth. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. Fitted vents are looked at.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like Tidworth, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.

New roof snagging in Tidworth: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For any home in Tidworth, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
