New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Wallington
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. If you are worried about poorly finished verges and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Wallington, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. Whether you’re buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof does not stay small for long.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Useful tips for Wallington property owners
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Wallington is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

New roof snagging around Wallington
Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Wallington is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Bookings from Wallington are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.

Wallington questions
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Wallington, 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 typically shows.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wallington?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
