About our new roof snagging in Ringwood
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and verge tiles or slates not secured.
Smaller places like Ringwood often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, 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 Ringwood. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Local roofs and buyers in Ringwood
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Avon Tyrrell House about 3.6 miles south-east, Ringwood sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Ringwood is in Hampshire. We cover Ringwood and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover Ringwood. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.
Surveys in BH24 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on Addison Square, High Street and Market Place or a nearby road, we can survey it.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Ringwood is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets in another room

Why act early in Ringwood
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Around Ringwood, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

When to book a survey in Ringwood
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Trinity Congregational Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
How we price new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Ringwood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Ringwood?
Yes, Ringwood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Ringwood listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Useful tips for Ringwood property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there is time to raise anything.
