Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
How new roof snagging works in Netley
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Houses in smaller places like Netley can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. Whether you’re buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
New roof snagging around Netley
Netley is within about 1 mile of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. About 3 miles north-west lies Medieval Merchant's House, a reminder of how long the area around Netley has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Netley station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Take an older house close to Church of St Edward the Confessor: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Read how roof surveys are priced and two real surveys.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to a smaller place like Netley is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.

FAQs for Netley
Do you cover smaller places like Netley?
Yes. Netley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Netley 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’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you check the loft?
If there is 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 carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
