Brooklands New Roof Snagging
Get a clear view of the new roof at a property in Brooklands. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Brooklands
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new-build homes, and people most frequently book us about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
Around Brooklands, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Brooklands, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why it is worth a survey now in Brooklands
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Blocked gutters on homes around Brooklands overflow and soak walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Diary the defects period end date
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
Local roofs and buyers in Brooklands
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. The wider area around Brooklands has a long history of building, with Byfleet Manor about 1.7 miles south. 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.
For landlords with property near Weybridge station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Charles Borromeo, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Questions from Brooklands
Will you come out to Brooklands?
Yes. Brooklands is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in Brooklands listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
How we price new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Which survey package you book
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
