New roof snagging in Winnall: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Winnall, 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. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to Winnall is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

New roof snagging around Winnall
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
FAQs for Winnall
Is Winnall within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Winnall in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. We note any that look out of place.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
