New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Mount Pleasant
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed underlay at the eaves left exposed and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Mount Pleasant, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

New roof snagging in Mount Pleasant: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Mount Pleasant, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a close look whether you are buying or signing off 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Whatever the street in Mount Pleasant, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

FAQs for Mount Pleasant
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mount Pleasant?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Mount Pleasant within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Mount Pleasant can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree what to focus on, such as 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What happens if roof problems are left?
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mount Pleasant can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof

Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs as far as can be seen safely.

This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
