About our new roof snagging in West Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, new flat roofs and new-build homes alike.
Older buildings in small places like West Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Local roofs and buyers in West Green
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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around West Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 4.6 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near Winchfield station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Do you need new roof snagging in West Green?
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like West Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check 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.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Useful tips for West Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
You receive a report with photographs of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.

Your questions about new roof snagging in West Green
Do you cover West Green?
Yes, West Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in West Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
