About our new roof snagging in Charleshill
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are verge tiles or slates not secured and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
In a village or hamlet like Charleshill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Charleshill
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
For a price for new roof snagging in Charleshill, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us price the survey accurately.
What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. Fitted vents are looked at.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. Leftover debris is recorded.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Charleshill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Common questions in Charleshill
Do you cover smaller places like Charleshill?
Yes, Charleshill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Charleshill in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Charleshill is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Why act early in Charleshill
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. Older cottages and farmhouses around Charleshill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Local roofs and buyers in Charleshill

Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. For landlords with property near Farnham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
