New roof snagging in Chandler's Ford: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Historic houses like South Stoneham House, about 3.4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Chandler's Ford goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Chandler's Ford
Roof work frequently leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy or loose verge details and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
In a town like Chandler's Ford, older streets usually sit alongside post-war and newer estates. Older roofs are often slate or clay tile, and many later houses have concrete interlocking tiles. Whether you are buying or have just had a new roof, the checks depend on which you have, from fixings and underlay to ridges and valleys. What sits under the tiles, from old felt to modern membranes, matters as much as the tiles themselves.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Useful tips for Chandler's Ford property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.

Chandler's Ford questions
Is Chandler's Ford in the area you cover?
Yes, Chandler's Ford is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Chandler's Ford listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
