Dawesgreen New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Dawesgreen. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Poorly finished verges
Useful tips for Dawesgreen property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- File all paperwork for the new roof
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
New roof snagging in Dawesgreen: what you get
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear 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. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’re worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, we can find out what’s behind it, on loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and new-build homes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Dawesgreen 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. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. We note any that look out of place.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We look at it where it can be seen.
Questions from Dawesgreen
Will you come out to Dawesgreen?
Yes. Dawesgreen is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Dawesgreen?
Yes, Dawesgreen is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Dawesgreen homes and their roofs
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so check with the council.
If you let a flat or house near Betchworth station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What affects the price in Dawesgreen
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to let us know when you contact us
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date

What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Dawesgreen often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Leave it or get it looked at?
Raising snags before the final payment is typically simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a place like Dawesgreen, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Do you need new roof snagging in Dawesgreen?
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Bartholomew, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
