- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
About our new roof snagging in Bedhampton
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay not dressed into the gutter, on new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
Around Bedhampton, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bedhampton
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Around Bedhampton, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Buying a home or a new roof in Bedhampton
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Bedhampton, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
With Warblington Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, the area around Bedhampton has a long history. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area. Take an older house close to St Nicholas Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Bedhampton station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Details hidden from sight
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys

The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a survey in Bedhampton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
FAQs for Bedhampton
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bedhampton, take more of a battering?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Bedhampton is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Do you cover smaller places like Bedhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is this a RICS 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.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Prices for new roof snagging in Bedhampton
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
