About our new roof snagging in Broadford
Our snagging inspections cover Broadford and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Typical surveys look at flashings not properly dressed or fixed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
Older buildings in small places like Broadford may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
New roof snagging around Broadford
About 1.4 miles west lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Broadford has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For landlords with property near Shalford station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Why act early in Broadford
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Around Broadford, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Broadford, 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.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Diary the defects period end date
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
