What we are asked to look at in Everton
Most homeowners can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
About our new roof snagging in Everton
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Everton makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Everton: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Everton is listed?
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.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Everton, take more of a battering?
Frequently, yes. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Everton is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Everton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
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 use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Everton
Everton lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a proper look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
