How new roof snagging works in Burntcommon
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We are often asked to look into damage to other parts of the building and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
For a small place like Burntcommon, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Burntcommon: your questions answered
Do you cover Burntcommon?
Yes, Burntcommon is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Burntcommon?
Yes, Burntcommon is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Burntcommon, access is typically the main thing to plan. 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.
- 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.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What new roof snagging looks like in Burntcommon
Clandon Park, about 2.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burntcommon. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. 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.
Take an older house close to St William of York: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Landlords with a home close to Clandon station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
