New roof snagging in Funtley: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you’re worried about tiles or slates sitting out of line and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Funtley, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Funtley, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- An independent look at the roof
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- What’s under the new coverings

- Loft conversions and dormers
Funtley homes and their roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Funtley, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What else we do in Funtley
Common roof problems in Funtley
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in at the first heavy rain.
We are often asked to look at:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
If you live in an older home near Church of St Francis, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book anyone
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What the survey won’t cover
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Your questions about new roof snagging in Funtley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Funtley?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Funtley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Funtley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us about parking before the day
