New roof snagging in Stanswood, Hampshire
New roof snagging around Stanswood, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Stanswood, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
About our new roof snagging in Stanswood
Our snagging inspections cover Stanswood and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We are often asked to look into untidy or loose verge details and missing or blocked roof ventilation, on ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes.
Being in a small place like Stanswood makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Stanswood
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
What affects the price in Stanswood
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Details hidden from sight
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

Questions from Stanswood
Is the coastal weather around Stanswood hard on roofs?
It can do. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Stanswood is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How do I find out if my home in Stanswood is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Stanswood?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
When to book a survey in Stanswood
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Damage to other parts of the building
With Osborne House about 4.8 miles south-east, the area around Stanswood has a long history. Older homes in the area can come with listed status or conservation area rules, which affect re-roofing, so check with the council before you buy.

What new roof snagging looks like in Stanswood
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Stanswood, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. 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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For landlords with property near Hamble station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you live in an older home near St George, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
