How new roof snagging works in Brick Hill
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We survey ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes, and people most often book us about underlay not dressed into the gutter and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
In a village or hamlet like Brick Hill, 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 are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
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, whichever applies.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Diary the defects period end date
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Buying a home or a new roof in Brick Hill
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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. About 4 miles east lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Brick Hill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Sunningdale station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

When to book a survey in Brick Hill
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Look out for signs like these:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Damage to other parts of the building
Take an older house close to Church of St Saviour: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Brick Hill, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Brick Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

How much time does a snagging visit need?
It normally takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
