How new roof snagging works in Weston
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new flat roofs alike.
For a small place like Weston, the visit is planned like any other: 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. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Weston
Will you come out to Weston?
Yes, Weston is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Weston 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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Buying a home or a new roof in Weston
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Uppark, about 4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Weston. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.

Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.

When to book a survey in Weston
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey will not cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Pricing the remedial work
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
