New roof snagging in Furzey Lodge
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. 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 new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
Somewhere as small as Furzey Lodge, 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. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Book snagging before the final payment
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
What we cannot see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Pricing the remedial work
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Legal advice on your contract
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Furzey Lodge
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Furzey Lodge can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Furzey Lodge homes and their roofs
Furzey Lodge is within about 4 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Beaulieu Palace House, about 1.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Furzey Lodge. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Furzey Lodge is about 5 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. We carry out new roof snagging in Furzey Lodge for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Across Hampshire, we cover Furzey Lodge. You can also see our page for Southampton.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Furzey Lodge
Will you come out to Furzey Lodge?
Yes, Furzey Lodge is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Furzey Lodge listed or in a conservation area?
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 it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
