New roof snagging in Upper Enham, Hampshire
New roof snagging across Upper Enham, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
About our new roof snagging in Upper Enham
Roof work frequently leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and debris left in gutters or valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Upper Enham, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What else we do in Upper Enham
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. We check them closely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Upper Enham homes and their roofs
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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.
If you live in an older home near Saint George, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Upper Enham, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
