New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Anthill Common
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’re worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Anthill Common 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. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Anthill Common
Is the coastal weather around Anthill Common hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Anthill Common 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.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you need new roof snagging in Anthill Common?
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
Landlords with a home close to Portchester station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Anthill Common homes and their roofs
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Anthill Common, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Book snagging before the final payment
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Anthill Common, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
