New Roof Snagging in Dippenhall
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags across Dippenhall, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
New roof snagging in Dippenhall: what you get
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you are worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Somewhere as small as Dippenhall, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Dippenhall: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Dippenhall?
Yes, Dippenhall is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Dippenhall as anywhere else.
Is my home in Dippenhall listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Dippenhall?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Details hidden from sight
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Legal advice on your contract
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Flashings and valleys
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Keep warranty papers safe
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Dippenhall
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Dippenhall 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Historic houses like Farnham Castle, about 1.4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Dippenhall goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as St Francis are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Dippenhall, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
