How new roof snagging works in Brookwood
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. Typical surveys look at vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
In a village or hamlet like Brookwood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Brookwood homes and their roofs
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Take an older house close to Saint Saviour's Church: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Brookwood
Do you cover Brookwood?

Do you cover smaller places like Brookwood?
Yes, Brookwood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.

Useful tips for Brookwood property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check the roof before you pay in full
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Brookwood can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
