How new roof snagging works in Stonymarsh
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 including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. Common reasons to book are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Stonymarsh, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Stonymarsh
Is Stonymarsh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Stonymarsh in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Stonymarsh is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Stonymarsh, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book

Advice
New roof snagging around Stonymarsh
Mottisfont Abbey, about 0.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stonymarsh. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have 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 Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What we are asked to look at in Stonymarsh
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Problems we come across often include:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Andrew, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Will the report include photos?
- When you’ll get the report
- What they will not be able to tell you

What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
A survey is a close look at the new roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- What’s under the new coverings
- Legal advice on your contract
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.

- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
Useful tips for Stonymarsh property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
