Wildhern New Roof Snagging

Why it is worth a survey now in Wildhern
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wildhern, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

New roof snagging in Wildhern
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Somewhere as small as Wildhern, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What new roof snagging looks like in Wildhern
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Andover station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Take an older house close to Christchurch: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Details hidden from sight
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
- New flat roofs
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Wildhern, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- 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 looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Do you cover Wildhern?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wildhern as anywhere else.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?

No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is checked where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.

Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
