New Roof Snagging in North Hayling
New roof snagging across North Hayling, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in North Hayling
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
For a small place like North Hayling, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
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, whichever applies.

Your questions about new roof snagging in North Hayling
Is my home in North Hayling listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is North Hayling within the area you cover?
Yes, North Hayling is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in North Hayling?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
New roof snagging in North Hayling: local notes
North Hayling lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale. Warblington Castle, about 1.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Hayling. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Warblington station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in North Hayling, we can come and survey your property. North Hayling is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Outbuildings and barns around North Hayling are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around North Hayling, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
