When to book a survey in Privett
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Landlords with a home close to Portsmouth Harbour station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Before booking anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
About our new roof snagging in Privett
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about underlay ending short at the eaves and verge tiles or slates not secured.
In a smaller place like Privett, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

FAQs for Privett
Do you cover smaller places like Privett?
Yes, Privett is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Privett is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
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.
What affects the price in Privett
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What to let us know when you contact us
These details help when you contact us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a survey in Privett, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What new roof snagging looks like in Privett
Privett is within about 1 mile of the coast, 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 close look whether you are buying or signing off new work. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Faith's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What we look for on each type of roof

Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
