Questions from Deepcut
Do you cover Deepcut?
Yes, Deepcut is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Deepcut?
Yes, Deepcut is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
New roof snagging in Deepcut
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Deepcut, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. 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. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. A visit to a smaller place like Deepcut is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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.
- The roof space is checked 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
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Why act early in Deepcut
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Arranging work in a smaller place like Deepcut is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
