New roof snagging in Priddy's Hard, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Priddy's Hard, with photographs and a written report.
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
About our new roof snagging in Priddy's Hard
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Being in a small place like Priddy's Hard makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Roof by roof
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.

Priddy's Hard: your questions answered
Is my home in Priddy's Hard listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Priddy's Hard, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you cover Priddy's Hard?
Yes. We carry out new roof snagging in Priddy's Hard, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Repair costs for putting snags right

Advice
Priddy's Hard homes and their roofs
Priddy's Hard lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Landlords with a home close to Portsmouth Harbour station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
