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.

How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.

How new roof snagging works in Totford
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. Common reasons to book are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and gaps at new flashings, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
For a small place like Totford, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Local roofs and buyers in Totford
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 the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Micheldever station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Totford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- 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 is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
When to book a survey in Totford
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their report turnaround times
- Are they insured for the work?
