About our new roof snagging in Baybridge
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. 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. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are tiles or slates sitting out of line and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
Being in a small place like Baybridge makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

FAQs for Baybridge
Is my home in Baybridge listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Will you come out to Baybridge?
Yes, Baybridge is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What we can’t see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- What’s under the new coverings
- Pricing the remedial work

New roof snagging in Baybridge: local notes
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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. Fitted vents are looked at.
