- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Townhill Park
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay at the eaves left exposed, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
In a smaller place like Townhill Park, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Townhill Park
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Townhill Park, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

New roof snagging in Townhill Park: local notes
Townhill Park is within about 4 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Historic houses such as South Stoneham House, about 0.9 miles north-west, show how far back building around Townhill Park goes. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later. The streets around a church like St. Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What’s near Townhill Park

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Townhill Park, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.

How to prepare

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Townhill Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Townhill Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Townhill Park, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Townhill Park is within about 4 miles of the coast.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
How do I book a survey in Townhill Park?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Prices for new roof snagging in Townhill Park
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
