New roof snagging in Charlwood: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you are worried about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers alike.
In a village or hamlet like Charlwood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

New roof snagging around Charlwood
The wider area around Charlwood has a long history of building, with Bentworth Hall about 4.8 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark such as Monkwood Mission Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Charlwood can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Common questions in Charlwood
Is Charlwood in the area you cover?
Yes, Charlwood is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Charlwood?
Yes, Charlwood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
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 though our report gives you the facts we saw.
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.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Charlwood?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Useful tips for Charlwood property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs as far as can safely be seen.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
