About our new roof snagging in North Boarhunt
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
Some older homes in villages like North Boarhunt are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Your questions about new roof snagging in North Boarhunt
Does being near the coast affect roofs in North Boarhunt?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you cover smaller places like North Boarhunt?
Yes, North Boarhunt is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around North Boarhunt, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Advice
Local roofs and buyers in North Boarhunt
North Boarhunt lies within about 4 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Check before your warranty period ends
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.

What else we do in North Boarhunt
How we price new roof snagging

- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own

What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
