New roof snagging in Upper Froyle, Hampshire

How new roof snagging works in Upper Froyle
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and people most frequently book us about gaps at new flashings and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Being in a small place like Upper Froyle makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. 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. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Prices for new roof snagging in Upper Froyle
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Upper Froyle
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Poorly finished verges
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- When you’ll get the report
Buying a home or a new roof in Upper Froyle
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones 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 Church of St Mary of the Assumption, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Nearby you will also find Allen Gallery (3 miles south-west) and Barley Pound (3.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there is Holybourne Hill.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
FAQs for Upper Froyle
How do I find out if my home in Upper Froyle 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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Upper Froyle within the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Froyle is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Upper Froyle, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
