Local roofs and buyers in Woodside
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. 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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For any home in Woodside, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

New roof snagging in Woodside: what you get
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed untidy or loose verge details and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Woodside, 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 as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why get it checked now?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodside, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Woodside, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Woodside
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woodside?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Woodside?
Yes, Woodside is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in Woodside?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Pricing the remedial work
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
