New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Easton
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. We survey ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
Being in a small place like Easton makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Easton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What affects the price in Easton
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Easton
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Easton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Easton homes and their roofs
Easton lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. A number of the island’s villages keep thatched roofs on older buildings, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church such as St. Agnes' Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Easton can all book new roof snagging. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover Easton. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

When to book a survey in Easton
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
Mottistone Manor, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Easton. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- When you will get the report
- What the survey won’t cover
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs frequently have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we check them carefully.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a small place like Easton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.
