New roof snagging in Whitehill, Hampshire
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags across Whitehill, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Whitehill, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
About our new roof snagging in Whitehill
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you are worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs alike.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Whitehill, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you are buying in Whitehill or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

More services for Whitehill
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are looked at closely.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Whitehill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Whitehill?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Whitehill is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Whitehill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
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 hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
Buying a home or a new roof in Whitehill
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Sacred Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Whitehill
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Before booking anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What happens after the report arrives
Leave it or get it looked at?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Blocked gutters on homes around Whitehill overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
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. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
