About our new roof snagging in Gosport
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay not dressed into the gutter and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Gosport, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

FAQs for Gosport
Do you cover Gosport?
Yes, Gosport is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Gosport as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Gosport?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Gosport, access is typically the main thing to plan. 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.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
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.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Why act early in Gosport
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. For older village homes like those around Gosport, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Gosport homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mark are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Landlords with a home close to Chandlers Ford station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
