New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Foulford
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photos to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you are worried about missing or blocked roof ventilation and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
In a village or hamlet like Foulford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

New roof snagging in Foulford: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Avon Tyrrell House about 3.3 miles south, Foulford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:

- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Foulford
Do you cover smaller places like Foulford?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Foulford in the area you cover?
Yes, Foulford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I book a survey in Foulford?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Foulford, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
