New roof snagging in Fisher's Pond, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Fisher's Pond, and put it all in a report with photographs.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
How new roof snagging works in Fisher's Pond
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check 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’re worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Fisher's Pond, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Fisher's Pond
Is Fisher's Pond within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Fisher's Pond listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Fisher's Pond can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.

Fisher's Pond homes and their roofs
Historic houses like South Stoneham House, about 4.6 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Fisher's Pond goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Fisher's Pond
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level and you may be asked to pay anyway.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If you let a flat or house near Eastleigh station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long the report takes to arrive
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Honest limits
It helps to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Whether the roof will leak in future
