Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.

- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Broken coverings left on a new roof

New roof snagging in Dibden Purlieu
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
In a smaller place like Dibden Purlieu, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. Whether you’re buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Dibden Purlieu questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Dibden Purlieu?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is the coastal weather around Dibden Purlieu hard on roofs?
Often, yes. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Dibden Purlieu is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is Dibden Purlieu in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out new roof snagging in Dibden Purlieu.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.

New roof snagging around Dibden Purlieu
Dibden Purlieu is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a careful look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Landlords with a home close to Southampton Town Quay station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. Fitted vents are checked.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like Dibden Purlieu, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- 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.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
