How new roof snagging works in Churt
Our snagging inspections cover Churt and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at untidy or loose verge details and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, on new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Churt makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

What else we do in Churt
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Churt can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- 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.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
Why get it checked now?
Photographs from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Older cottages and farmhouses around Churt can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why book with us

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Questions from Churt
Is my home in Churt listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Churt?
Yes, Churt is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
New roof snagging in Churt: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Churt
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gaps at new flashings
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
