New roof snagging in Chillerton: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are tiles or slates sitting out of line and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Some older homes in villages like Chillerton are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. Fitted vents are checked.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are looked at closely.
Local roofs and buyers in Chillerton
Chillerton lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Sheat Manor, about 0.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chillerton. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Chillerton is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Surveys in Chillerton work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Chillerton, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Chillerton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Chillerton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Chillerton?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Chillerton?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Chillerton
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level and you may be asked to pay anyway.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Damage to other parts of the building
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St. Olave's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their insurance cover
- Will the report include photos?
- How long the report takes to arrive

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
