How new roof snagging works in Busbridge
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. Typical surveys look at ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and tiles or slates sitting out of line, across ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Busbridge are listed or sit 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’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

New roof snagging in Busbridge: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Loseley Park about 2.7 miles north, Busbridge sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St John the Baptist Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Landlords with a home close to Godalming station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window

Useful tips for Busbridge property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Busbridge, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. 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 checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Is Busbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Busbridge is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
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.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Roof by roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
