About our new roof snagging in Ash Green
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Older buildings in small places like Ash Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What new roof snagging looks like in Ash Green
With Wanborough Manor about 2.1 miles east, Ash Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you let a flat or house near Ash station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we’re asked to look at in Ash Green
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What they will not be able to tell you
Leave it or get it looked at?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a place like Ash Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Ash Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
