Woolmer New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Woolmer, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How new roof snagging works in Woolmer
Our snagging inspections cover Woolmer and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Woolmer, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

New roof snagging in Woolmer: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church such as St Matthew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Landlords and agents in Woolmer book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Woolmer, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Questions from Woolmer
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woolmer?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woolmer?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Woolmer is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Woolmer
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Book snagging before the final payment
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check before your warranty period ends
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is 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.
