Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
For landlords with property near Andover station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

New roof snagging in Picket Piece: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’re worried about damage to other parts of the building and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Smaller places like Picket Piece often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Picket Piece. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Homes around Picket Piece frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
