New Roof Snagging in Dumpford
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Dumpford and the rest of Hampshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a village or hamlet like Dumpford, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
How new roof snagging works in Dumpford
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or blocked roof ventilation and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
Older buildings in small places like Dumpford may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.

That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.

Common roof problems in Dumpford
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
Problems we come across often include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
The streets around a church like St George's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
We’ll usually ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Local roofs and buyers in Dumpford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 3.8 miles east lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Dumpford has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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 Liss station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Why it is worth a survey now in Dumpford
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Dumpford, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
