About our new roof snagging in Warnford
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 before the deadline. Typical surveys look at poorly finished verges and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, on ridges and verges, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Warnford makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Warnford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Warnford questions
How do I find out if my home in Warnford is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Warnford in the area you cover?
Yes, Warnford is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.

New roof snagging around Warnford
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House, about 3.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Warnford goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of Our Lady, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check the roof before you pay in full
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
What new roof snagging does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Roof by roof

Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
