New roof snagging for homes and businesses in East Clandon

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. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you are worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.

Some older homes in villages like East Clandon are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s 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 is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

New roof snagging in East Clandon: local notes

Historic houses such as Hatchlands Park, about 0.5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around East Clandon goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.

The streets around a church such as Church of St Thomas of Canterbury are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you let a flat or house near Clandon station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What happens on the day

Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as East Clandon, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

  1. We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
  2. The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
  3. Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
  4. The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
  5. You get a photo report listing the snags we found.

FAQs for East Clandon

Is East Clandon within the area you cover?

Yes. East Clandon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Is my home in East Clandon 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 are planning to re-roof in a different material.

Do I need to be at home?

It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Does this replace a RICS home survey?

No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.

DIY checks: what’s safe

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
