About our new roof snagging in Cuddington
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We’re often asked to look into broken coverings left on a new roof and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, across flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Cuddington are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. 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 is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Cuddington
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. For an older or listed building in a place like Cuddington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What we are asked to look at in Cuddington
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
For landlords with property near Cheam station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Cuddington needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Common questions in Cuddington
Is my home in Cuddington 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.
Is Cuddington in the area you cover?
Yes, Cuddington is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
New roof snagging in Cuddington: local notes
Nonsuch Mansion, about 0.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cuddington. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Dunstan, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
