New roof snagging in Barford
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are missing or blocked roof ventilation and broken coverings left on a new roof.
Being in a small place like Barford makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Barford, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Why it is worth a survey now in Barford
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barford can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Barford

When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes

- New flat roofs
Barford: your questions answered
Is my home in Barford listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Barford?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Barford is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Barford homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St John the Evangelist, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Which survey package you book
- Roof area
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
