New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Catisfield
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. 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. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at new flashings and poorly finished verges.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Catisfield, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Catisfield. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Catisfield
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.

FAQs for Catisfield
Is the coastal weather around Catisfield 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.
Will you come out to Catisfield?
Yes. Catisfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
New roof snagging around Catisfield
Catisfield lies within about 2 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further 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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Why act early in Catisfield
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Arranging work in a smaller place like Catisfield is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Catisfield is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
