New roof snagging in Wecock Farm: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Wecock Farm can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a smaller place like Wecock Farm, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, you let us know 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day

Questions from Wecock Farm
How do I find out if my home in Wecock Farm is listed?
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.
Will you come out to Wecock Farm?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is looked at where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Wecock Farm homes and their roofs
Wecock Farm is within about 4 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Rowlands Castle station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to The Hart Plain Church: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Wecock Farm is about 1 mile south-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Wecock Farm, we can survey the roof. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. You can also see our page for Portsmouth.
Every address in PO8 and PO7 is covered for new roof snagging. We cover properties on Stone Road, Milton Road and Eagle Avenue. Neighbouring places we cover for new roof snagging include Anmore (1 mile west), Lovedean (1 mile north), Horndean (1 mile north-east), Denmead (2 miles west) and Catherington (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Gosport (8 miles south-west), Havant (3 miles south-east), Eastleigh (14 miles west), Fareham (8 miles south-west), Hedge End (12 miles west) and Petersfield (8 miles north-east).

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Checking the roof from the ground
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In an older home around Wecock Farm, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we look at them closely.
