New roof snagging in Bartley
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and gutters blocked by building debris.
Some older homes in villages like Bartley are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Bartley
Do you cover smaller places like Bartley?
Yes, Bartley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bartley?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Bartley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- 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.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
New roof snagging in Bartley: local notes
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Bartley, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than 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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Around Bartley, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in. For landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
