New roof snagging in Upper Burgate: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about underlay ending short at the eaves and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Upper Burgate makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Local roofs and buyers in Upper Burgate
Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 1.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Upper Burgate goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to let us know when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Do you need new roof snagging in Upper Burgate?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
For an older house near a landmark such as Woodgreen Methodist Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the survey won’t cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Upper Burgate, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
