New roof snagging in Tourner Bury
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. Common reasons to book are verge tiles or slates not secured and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, across new-build homes, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Tourner Bury may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

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 one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Tourner Bury, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey

Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we check them closely.
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are looked at closely on new slate roofs as far as can be seen safely.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Estimates of what fixes will cost

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Tourner Bury: your questions answered
Will you come out to Tourner Bury?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Tourner Bury?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We will give you an idea as you book.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Keep warranty papers safe
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
What we are asked to look at in Tourner Bury
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Poorly finished verges
Warblington Castle lies about 3.5 miles north, so building around Tourner Bury goes back a long way. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Before you book anyone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Buying a home or a new roof in Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury is within about 1 mile of the coast, 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 proper look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Landlords with a home close to Warblington station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
