About our new roof snagging in Wherwell Wood

We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’re worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and gaps at new flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs alike.

Older buildings in small places like Wherwell Wood may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.

Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How the survey works

After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Wherwell Wood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.

  1. We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
  2. We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
  4. The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
  5. You get a photo report listing the snags we found.

Preparing for the visit

  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
  • Clear the way to the loft hatch

Common questions in Wherwell Wood

Is Wherwell Wood in the area you cover?

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

Do you cover smaller places like Wherwell Wood?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is this a RICS survey?

No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.

Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?

Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.

Do I need to be at home?

Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

Will you check every nail and clip?

No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.

How the survey changes by roof type

Flashings

Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we check them closely.

Clay and concrete tiles

Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging

Several things affect the price of a survey:

  • The shape of the roof and its details
  • Roof area
  • Whether it is a home or a commercial building
  • Basic, Standard or Premium

Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we need to know

There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:

  • The address and postcode of the property
  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
  • Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window

You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Why it is worth a survey now in Wherwell Wood

Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. Around Wherwell Wood, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What you get with us

  • Over 5,000 surveys carried out
  • 98% of customers satisfied
  • Package prices that include VAT
  • An independent look at the roof

Checking the roof from the ground

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

New roof snagging in Wherwell Wood: local notes

Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
