How new roof snagging works in North Stoneham
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at untidy or loose verge details and gaps at new flashings, on ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like North Stoneham makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from North Stoneham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Stoneham?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around North Stoneham, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in North Stoneham?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
New roof snagging around North Stoneham
North Stoneham is within about 5 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea. With South Stoneham House about 1.3 miles south, North Stoneham sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Southampton Airport Parkway station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What we are asked to look at in North Stoneham
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St. Nicolas' Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Surveys for landlords and agents in North Stoneham
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a small place like North Stoneham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

How we price new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
We will usually ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like North Stoneham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
