New roof snagging in Durrants: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We’re frequently asked to look into underlay not dressed into the gutter and damage to other parts of the building, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Durrants are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re 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 is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Durrants can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Related advice
Buying a home or a new roof in Durrants
Durrants lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. With Warblington Castle about 2.5 miles south, Durrants sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, 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 own a rental within reach of Rowlands Castle station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church such as St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Leave it or get it looked at?
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. For older village homes like those around Durrants, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.

FAQs for Durrants
How do I find out if my home in Durrants is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is the coastal weather around Durrants hard on roofs?
Often, yes. Durrants is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
