New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Upper Clatford
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. Common reasons to book are missing or blocked roof ventilation and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Upper Clatford are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Questions from Upper Clatford
Is my home in Upper Clatford listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Upper Clatford?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Diary the defects period end date
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.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Buying a home or a new roof in Upper Clatford
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.

The survey, step by step

The survey typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Upper Clatford, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us 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 is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What happens if roof problems are left?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Outbuildings and barns around Upper Clatford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
