New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Well
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you are worried about poorly finished verges and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Well makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Well, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Find any records of previous roof work

We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Common roof problems in Well
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in at the first heavy rain.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- When you’ll get the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Why it’s worth a survey now in Well
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Older cottages and farmhouses around Well can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Well
Do you cover Well?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Well is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Well 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.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
New roof snagging in Well: local notes
About 4.8 miles east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Well has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
The streets around a church such as Lord Wandsworth College Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs as far as can be seen safely.
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
