Boundstone New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging in Boundstone, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Damage to other parts of the building
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
About our new roof snagging in Boundstone
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Typical surveys look at broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across new-build homes, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Houses in smaller places like Boundstone can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Why get it checked now?
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. In an older home around Boundstone, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Common roof problems in Boundstone
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Before you book any roof surveyor

- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

New roof snagging around Boundstone
About 2 miles north lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Boundstone has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Timothy, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Boundstone
Do you cover Boundstone?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Boundstone as anywhere else.
Is my home in Boundstone listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a smaller place like Boundstone, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
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.
