New roof snagging in Worthy Down
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’re worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Worthy Down makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

New roof snagging around Worthy Down
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What else we do in Worthy Down
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near Worthy Down can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey

Worthy Down questions
Is Worthy Down within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Worthy Down?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Worthy Down as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Worthy Down
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Gaps at new flashings
For an older house near a landmark such as St Margaret's, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What affects the price in Worthy Down
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Worthy Down
Shared roofs need a little more planning: 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.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Worthy Down
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Worthy Down, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
