Why get it checked now?

Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Coxhill Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Why book with us

  • Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Coxhill Green

People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and signs of condensation in the roof space, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.

Somewhere as small as Coxhill Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Can I check my roof myself?

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

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.

When to book a survey in Coxhill Green

Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.

Here are some of the things we see often:

  • Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
  • Damage to other parts of the building
  • Underlay at the eaves left exposed
  • Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates

Take an older house close to Church of St Lawrence: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Their insurance cover
  • What happens after the report arrives
  • What’s outside the scope of the survey
  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What’s in a roof survey

New roof snagging around Coxhill Green

Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Coxhill Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

Landlords with a home close to Longcross station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Common questions in Coxhill Green

Is Coxhill Green within the area you cover?

We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

Is Coxhill Green in the area you cover?

We do. The survey and report are the same in Coxhill Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.

Can you settle a dispute with my builder?

No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.

Can you see the fixings under the tiles?

No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.

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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?

Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.

What happens on the day

Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Coxhill Green 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.

  1. We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
  2. We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
  4. We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
  5. You get a photo report of each snag.

Preparing for the visit

  • Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
  • Clear the way to the loft hatch
  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
