New roof snagging in Upper Street: local notes
The wider area around Upper Street has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 0.5 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Upper Street
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and new-build homes alike.
For a small place like Upper Street, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

FAQs for Upper Street
Is Upper Street in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Upper Street as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Upper Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Upper Street?
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 weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- When you need the report by
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it’s visible.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
You receive a report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Upper Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
