New Roof Snagging in Eastleigh
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Eastleigh and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In Eastleigh, many roofs join a neighbour’s, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. Let us know about any known leaks, past repairs or building work when you book.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
New roof snagging in Eastleigh: what you get
Building work can leave a mess 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 is all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges alike.
In a town like Eastleigh, older streets normally sit alongside post-war and newer estates. Older roofs are often slate or clay tile, and many later houses have concrete interlocking tiles. For a purchase or a new roof in Eastleigh, the type of roof decides where the checks focus. What sits under the tiles, from old felt to modern membranes, matters as much as the tiles themselves.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Eastleigh
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a family home in Eastleigh, a small roof fault lets water into places you cannot see, like the loft insulation, the top of a wall or the roof timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there is more to put right.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Buying a home or a new roof in Eastleigh
South Stoneham House, about 2.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eastleigh. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Resurrection, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
When to book a survey in Eastleigh
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.

Eastleigh questions
How should I get ready for a visit in Eastleigh?
It helps to clear access to the loft, and to let us know about leaks, damp patches or recent work. Parking and access details for Eastleigh help us plan the visit.
Is Eastleigh in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
