New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Dora's Green
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to other parts of the building and verge tiles or slates not secured.
Some older homes in villages like Dora's Green 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’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

FAQs for Dora's Green
Is Dora's Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Dora's Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Dora's Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Practical tips
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Diary the defects period end date
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Details hidden from sight

- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Dora's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Why get it checked now?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For older village homes like those around Dora's Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

The wider area around Dora's Green has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 1.7 miles south-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.
