West Meon New Roof Snagging
Not sure what state the new roof is in? You can book new roof snagging in West Meon and across Hampshire.
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near West Meon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey

About our new roof snagging in West Meon
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. Common reasons to book are ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as West Meon, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings often show up on new roofs. They’re recorded with photos.
Questions from West Meon
Is West Meon in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and West Meon is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like West Meon?
Yes, West Meon is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we check:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a small place like West Meon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
For a price for your roof in West Meon, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

- Details hidden from sight
- How the roof will perform for years to come

Buying a home or a new roof in West Meon
About 3.4 miles north-west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around West Meon has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
