Buying a home or a new roof in Christmas Pie
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around Christmas Pie has a long history of building, with Wanborough Manor about 0.6 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Wanborough station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

About our new roof snagging in Christmas Pie
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about untidy or loose verge details and gaps at new flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Christmas Pie 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Christmas Pie questions
Will you come out to Christmas Pie?
Yes, Christmas Pie is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Christmas Pie?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Why act early in Christmas Pie
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. For an older or listed building in a place like Christmas Pie, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What this survey covers
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
What affects the price in Christmas Pie
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
To get a price for new roof snagging in Christmas Pie, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Some details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Christmas Pie, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

When to book a survey in Christmas Pie
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Bartholomew, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will the report include photos?
