New roof snagging in Warblington
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We’re frequently asked to look into gutters blocked by building debris and damage to other parts of the building, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Warblington, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What new roof snagging looks like in Warblington
Warblington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. With Warblington Castle about 0.4 miles north-east, Warblington sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For landlords with property near Warblington station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What we’re asked to look at in Warblington
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
The streets around a church such as St Thomas à Becket Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey won’t cover
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Warblington, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Booking a survey
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Outbuildings and barns around Warblington are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Package prices that include VAT

Warblington: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Warblington?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Will you come out to Warblington?
Yes, Warblington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Warblington?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
