North Fareham homes and their roofs
North Fareham is within about 2 miles 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, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

How new roof snagging works in North Fareham
Our snagging inspections cover North Fareham and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay ending short at the eaves.
Somewhere as small as North Fareham, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common questions in North Fareham
Do you cover smaller places like North Fareham?
Yes, North Fareham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in North Fareham is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What we’re asked to look at in North Fareham
Owners frequently get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What happens if roof problems are left?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Fareham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep the contract and invoices together
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the new roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
