New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Twyford
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, 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 the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Typical surveys look at tiles or slates sitting out of line and untidy or loose verge details, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Twyford 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. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we check them carefully.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Twyford homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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.
For landlords with property near Shawford station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Twyford needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day

Advice
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

Signs you need new roof snagging in Twyford
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gutters blocked by building debris
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What else we do in Twyford
What happens if roof problems are left?
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it is applicable. Older cottages and farmhouses around Twyford can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why us?
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Surveys seven days a week
- PI and public liability insurance
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

FAQs for Twyford
How do I find out if my home in Twyford is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Twyford in the area you cover?
Yes, Twyford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Twyford?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
