New roof snagging in Stubbington: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. Typical surveys look at flashings not properly dressed or fixed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
In a smaller place like Stubbington, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. Whether you are buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a careful look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Useful tips for Stubbington property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Keep warranty papers safe
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Stubbington questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Stubbington?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Stubbington is within about 1 mile of the coast.
How do I find out if my home in Stubbington is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.

What else we do in Stubbington
Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Homes in smaller places like Stubbington can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- Photos and a written report every time
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability

When to book a survey in Stubbington
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gaps at new flashings
Take an older house close to Holy Rood Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Stubbington does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging in Stubbington: local notes
Stubbington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
