New roof snagging in Weeke, Hampshire
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Weeke, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Parking around Weeke is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

How new roof snagging works in Weeke
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. Common reasons to book are gutters blocked by building debris and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
Houses in smaller places like Weeke can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather normally shows first. Whether you are 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 doesn’t stay small for long.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What new roof snagging looks like in Weeke
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If you live in an older home near Church of St Matthew, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Questions from Weeke
Is Weeke within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weeke?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Weeke as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos to raise with the builder.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Why act early in Weeke
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Around Weeke, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
