Questions from Crowhurst Lane End
Is my home in Crowhurst Lane End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Crowhurst Lane End?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Crowhurst Lane End is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
New roof snagging in Crowhurst Lane End: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you are worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Crowhurst Lane End may be listed or 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.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
Local roofs and buyers in Crowhurst Lane End
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around Crowhurst Lane End has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 4.6 miles north-east. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What we are asked to look at in Crowhurst Lane End
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
Problems we come across often include:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St George, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before you book
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Crowhurst Lane End, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What affects the price in Crowhurst Lane End
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Height and safe access
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
