New roof snagging in Wymering: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for 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. Typical surveys look at gutters blocked by building debris and signs of condensation in the roof space, across new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
In a smaller place like Wymering, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wymering
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Around Wymering, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What you get with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t 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.
New roof snagging around Wymering
Wymering lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. With Warblington Castle about 4.8 miles east, Wymering sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Cosham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Wymering questions
Is Wymering within the area you cover?
Yes. Wymering is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is the coastal weather around Wymering hard on roofs?
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.
How do I book a survey in Wymering?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea when booking.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Homes around Wymering frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
