New roof snagging in Itchen Stoke
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you are worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, homes are frequently 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, 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Itchen Stoke
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a place like Itchen Stoke, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Every finding written up with photos

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Itchen Stoke book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the new roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Book snagging before the final payment
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Itchen Stoke, access is usually 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room

When to book a survey in Itchen Stoke
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
