How new roof snagging works in Sarisbury
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and poorly finished verges, we can find out what’s behind it.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Sarisbury, 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 Sarisbury. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

Sarisbury questions
Do you cover smaller places like Sarisbury?
Yes, Sarisbury is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Sarisbury?
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Sarisbury
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Around Sarisbury, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Sarisbury
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Other services in Sarisbury
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Sarisbury, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

What new roof snagging looks like in Sarisbury
Sarisbury is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Swanwick station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
