Tye New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Tye, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
What we are asked to look at in Tye
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, particularly when the weather is against them.
Problems we come across often include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gaps at new flashings
Warblington Castle lies about 2 miles north, so building around Tye goes back a long way. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- When you’ll get the report
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Tye
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you are worried about gaps at new flashings and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Tye, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
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.

What new roof snagging looks like in Tye
Tye lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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 you own a rental within reach of Emsworth station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Tye, 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Related advice
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Tye
Is my home in Tye listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Tye?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
How do I book a survey in Tye?
Just ring 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’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. Leftover debris is recorded.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
