Buying a home or a new roof in Poulner
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 3.8 miles south lies Avon Tyrrell House, a reminder of how long the area around Poulner has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Poulner is about 1 mile north-east of Ringwood, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Poulner, we can carry out new roof snagging at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Across Hampshire, we cover Poulner. You can also see our page for Southampton.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Poulner
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and gutters blocked by building debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Poulner, 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 Poulner. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Poulner: your questions answered
Is my home in Poulner listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Poulner?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Poulner is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
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.
For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Landlords and letting agents in Poulner book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Poulner, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- 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
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about parking before the day

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
When you need someone else
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Legal advice on your contract
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
What happens if roof problems are left?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Around Poulner, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
