How new roof snagging works in Beare Green
Our snagging inspections cover Beare Green and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are tiles or slates sitting out of line and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Beare Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.

Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Beare Green homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Beare Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- 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 written report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
