About our new roof snagging in Wyck
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Being in a small place like Wyck makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What else we do in Wyck
Roof by roof
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings frequently show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. Fitted vents are looked at.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
You receive a written report with photographs of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Wyck can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Pricing the remedial work
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
- What’s under the new coverings
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Wyck, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Common questions in Wyck
Is Wyck within the area you cover?
Yes, Wyck is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Wyck is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
New roof snagging in Wyck: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Alton station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
