New roof snagging in Upper Swanmore
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about missing or blocked roof ventilation and broken coverings left on a new roof.
Some older homes in villages like Upper Swanmore are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Upper Swanmore, access is often 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.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.

Outbuildings and barns around Upper Swanmore are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

FAQs for Upper Swanmore
Is Upper Swanmore within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Upper Swanmore listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

Upper Swanmore homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Botley station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. The streets around a church like Church of St Barnabas are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
