New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Shedfield
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are broken coverings left on a new roof and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Shedfield are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are looked at closely.
Shedfield homes and their roofs
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you let a flat or house near Botley station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Shedfield is about 4 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Roofs in Shedfield get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hampshire. Shedfield is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for new roof snagging. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.
Postcode districts we cover here for new roof snagging: SO32. Local streets include High Street, Upper Church Road and Church Road, and we cover them all.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Shedfield
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
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.
Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

Shedfield questions
Do you cover smaller places like Shedfield?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Shedfield?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Shedfield as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
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, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Shedfield can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
