What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Being in a smaller place like Lee-on-the-Solent does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

About our new roof snagging in Lee-on-the-Solent
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen 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. If you’ve noticed gutters or fascias damaged during the job and gaps at new flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Smaller places like Lee-on-the-Solent often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Lee-on-the-Solent. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What new roof snagging looks like in Lee-on-the-Solent
Lee-on-the-Solent is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. The wider area around Lee-on-the-Solent has a long history of building, with Osborne House about 4.9 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Faith, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
When to book a survey in Lee-on-the-Solent
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Untidy or loose verge details
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What experience they bring
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. On a bungalow or cottage around Lee-on-the-Solent, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
