- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to a smaller place like Cranleigh is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- 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.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Cranleigh
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you are worried about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Cranleigh, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we look at them closely.
Why get it checked now?
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. In a smaller place like Cranleigh, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why book us in Cranleigh
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- An independent view of the roof
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

Questions from Cranleigh
Is my home in Cranleigh listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Cranleigh?
Yes, Cranleigh is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What new roof snagging looks like in Cranleigh
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. 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.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. In and around Cranleigh, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
