About our new roof snagging in Toothill
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about gaps at new flashings and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Being in a small place like Toothill makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Toothill
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Other services in Toothill
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. Outbuildings and barns around Toothill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

When to book a survey in Toothill
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Gaps at new flashings
- Poorly finished verges
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
For landlords with property near Romsey station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Buying a home or a new roof in Toothill
Toothill lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a close look whether you are buying or signing off new work. With South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles south-east, Toothill sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Toothill is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Surveys in Toothill work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at whatever is safely visible, photographs and a clear written report. Toothill is one of the places in Hampshire where we work.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Toothill
Will you come out to Toothill?
Yes. Toothill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Toothill listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Toothill, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
