How new roof snagging works in Landport
We carry out new roof snagging in Landport and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about gaps at new flashings and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Landport, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What new roof snagging looks like in Landport
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Landport, 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Portsmouth & Southsea station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Prices for new roof snagging in Landport
To price your survey, we look at:

Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Why get it checked now?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. On a bungalow or cottage around Landport, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Plain-English reports with photos
- An independent view of the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Landport questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Landport?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Landport?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I book a survey in Landport?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it’s 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. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
