New roof snagging around Adgestone
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Adgestone, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a proper look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and sea air and wind reach every part of the island. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St. John the Evangelist, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you let a flat or house near Sandown station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

About our new roof snagging in Adgestone
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’ve noticed damage to other parts of the building and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Adgestone are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there is time to raise anything.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- When you need the report by
- Anything about access we should know
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Adgestone
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
When to book a survey in Adgestone
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Morton Manor, about 0.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Adgestone. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- When you will get the report
- Their insurance cover
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Adgestone, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
FAQs for Adgestone
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Adgestone?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
How do I find out if my home in Adgestone is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
