Morton New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging in Morton and the rest of the Isle of Wight. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Morton, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work

About our new roof snagging in Morton
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps at new flashings and gutters blocked by building debris.
Being in a small place like Morton makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey

- When you need the report by
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

Questions from Morton
Is the coastal weather around Morton hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Morton is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Is my home in Morton listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Around Morton, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

What else we do in Morton
Morton homes and their roofs
Morton lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Brading station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Morton Manor, about 0.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Morton. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Morton is about 1 mile north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Surveys in Morton work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Morton is one of the towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.

Do you need new roof snagging in Morton?
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
We are often asked to look at:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
The streets around a church such as St. Mary's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
