New roof snagging in North Baddesley
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Common reasons to book are tiles or slates sitting out of line and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across replacement roofs, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in North Baddesley
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like North Baddesley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Local roofs and buyers in North Baddesley
The coast is about 5 miles or less from North Baddesley, 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. South Stoneham House, about 4.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Baddesley. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take an older house close to All Saints: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Diary the defects period end date
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
North Baddesley: your questions answered
Is my home in North Baddesley 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.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Baddesley?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
