New roof snagging in Regents Park, Southampton
Not sure what state the new roof is in? We carry out new roof snagging in Regents Park and across Southampton, with plain-English findings.
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Book snagging before the final payment
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
How new roof snagging works in Regents Park
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you are worried about tiles or slates sitting out of line and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Regents Park, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. 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 Regents Park. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common questions in Regents Park
Is Regents Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Regents Park is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Regents Park is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Regents Park
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Regents Park and across Southampton can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Parking around Regents Park is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In a smaller place like Regents Park, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

Local roofs and buyers in Regents Park
Regents Park lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. The wider area around Regents Park has a long history of building, with Southampton Tudor House and Garden about 2 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Millbrook (Hants) station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
