New roof snagging in Inner Avenue: what you get
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Common reasons to book are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and untidy or loose verge details, across flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs.
Around Inner Avenue, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

Useful tips for Inner Avenue property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.

Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Local roofs and buyers in Inner Avenue
Inner Avenue is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Saint Mary's, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near St Denys station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. With Southampton Tudor House and Garden about 1.2 miles south, the area around Inner Avenue has a long history. Older homes in the area can come with listed status or conservation area rules, which affect re-roofing, so check with the council before you buy.
Inner Avenue is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. If you’re in Inner Avenue, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Inner Avenue is one of the towns and villages in Southampton we cover.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Arranging work in a smaller place like Inner Avenue is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to Inner Avenue is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We agree what to focus on, like 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
