New roof snagging in Titchfield Common
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and missing or blocked roof ventilation, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Titchfield Common can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Titchfield Common questions
How do I find out if my home in Titchfield Common is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Titchfield Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
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 also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the 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 can only inspect what we are given access to.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like Titchfield Common, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey

Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
New roof snagging in Titchfield Common: local notes
Titchfield Common lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Swanwick station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark like St John, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Homes in smaller places like Titchfield Common can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
