What new roof snagging looks like in Batt's Corner
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. The wider area around Batt's Corner has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4 miles north. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
The streets around a church such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, 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 Bentley (Hampshire) station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Batt's Corner is about 4 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Batt's Corner gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Across Surrey, we cover Batt's Corner. You can also see our page for Guildford.

New roof snagging in Batt's Corner: what you get
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 detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Some older homes in villages like Batt's Corner are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. For an older or listed building in a place like Batt's Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Batt's Corner, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it’s visible.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we check them carefully.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Batt's Corner
Is Batt's Corner within the area you cover?
Yes. Batt's Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Batt's Corner?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t 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 and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will give you an idea when booking.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
