About our new roof snagging in Chiddingfold
We carry out new roof snagging in Chiddingfold and across London and the South East. A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Being in a small place like Chiddingfold makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Questions from Chiddingfold
Do you carry out roof surveys in Chiddingfold?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Chiddingfold?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
How long does new roof snagging take?

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- File all paperwork for the new roof
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Common roof problems in Chiddingfold
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What new roof snagging looks like in Chiddingfold
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
The streets around a church such as St Teresa of Avila Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
