New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Sarisbury Green
We carry out new roof snagging in Sarisbury Green and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs alike.
Around Sarisbury Green, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Arranging work in a smaller place like Sarisbury Green is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Sarisbury Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Sarisbury Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Sarisbury Green?
Yes, Sarisbury Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Buying a home or a new roof in Sarisbury Green
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Sarisbury Green, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Swanwick station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church such as Church of St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Sarisbury Green is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check we can get to the back of the property
