About our new roof snagging in Gundleton
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed gaps at new flashings and broken coverings left on a new roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Gundleton, 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. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

FAQs for Gundleton
How do I find out if my home in Gundleton is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Gundleton?
Yes, Gundleton is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.

What else we do in Gundleton
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Gundleton can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Gundleton
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What new roof snagging looks like in Gundleton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 4 miles south lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Gundleton has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Diary the defects period end date
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Book snagging before the final payment
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
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 look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
