Common roof problems in Burgh Heath
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level before you pay.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

New roof snagging in Burgh Heath
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. Common reasons to book are poorly finished verges and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Older buildings in small places like Burgh Heath may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The property’s address and postcode

Why act early in Burgh Heath
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Around Burgh Heath, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Burgh Heath homes and their roofs
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Fitznells Manor, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burgh Heath. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Burgh Heath can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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 looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
Common questions in Burgh Heath
Is my home in Burgh Heath listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Burgh Heath?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
