Common questions in Pennington
Is Pennington within the area you cover?
Yes, Pennington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the coastal weather around Pennington hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Pennington is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Pennington
Our snagging inspections cover Pennington and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about gutters blocked by building debris and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Pennington, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Pennington. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
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.

How we price new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Pennington, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- 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 loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Pennington homes and their roofs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Pennington, 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, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you let a flat or house near Lymington Town station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
What we’re asked to look at in Pennington
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will the report include photos?
Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. With lower homes, common in places like Pennington, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
