New roof snagging for Aaron's Hill homes and businesses

When you need someone else

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:

  • Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
  • Details hidden from sight
  • Repair costs for putting snags right

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Replacement roofs
  • Loft conversions and dormers
  • New flat roofs
  • Ridges and verges
  • New-build homes
  • Flashings and valleys

New roof snagging in Aaron's Hill

People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are tiles or slates sitting out of line and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.

Smaller places like Aaron's Hill frequently have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in Aaron's Hill or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.

The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What new roof snagging looks like in Aaron's Hill

Loseley Park, about 2.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Aaron's Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.

For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Church and Community Centre, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Landlords with a home close to Godalming station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Aaron's Hill is about 1 mile west of Godalming, in Surrey. Bookings from Aaron's Hill are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Aaron's Hill

Is Aaron's Hill in the area you cover?

Yes, Aaron's Hill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.

Is my home in Aaron's Hill listed or in a conservation area?

For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

How much time does a snagging visit need?

Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.

Does someone need to be in?

Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.

Do you test for asbestos?

No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.

What a survey costs

A few things affect what a survey costs:

  • How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • Roof area
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings

One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Booking your survey

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
  • Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
  • Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

How the survey works

Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Aaron's Hill, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.

  1. We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
  2. We inspect as far as safe access allows.
  3. Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
  4. Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
  5. We send a written report you can pass on.

Before the survey

  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
  • Find any records of previous roof work
  • Leave side gates unlocked

How to book

Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Useful tips for Aaron's Hill property owners

Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:

  • Look for marks or cracks left by the work
  • Raise snags in writing with your roofer
  • Diary the defects period end date
  • Let your roofer know an inspection is planned

Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.

Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.

For landlords and managing agents

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.

DIY checks: what’s safe

It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
