New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Egham
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are underlay ending short at the eaves and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Around towns like Egham, many houses have gained extensions, dormers, porches or garages, and many of those additions have flat roofs. Where an extension roof meets the main house is a classic place for water to get in. On a purchase or a newly finished roof in Egham, those junctions are high on the list.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Blocked gutters and downpipes on homes in Egham overflow onto walls, and damp follows inside. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Neither gets better on its own.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
A survey is a proper look at the new roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Details hidden from sight
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Useful tips for Egham property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check before your warranty period ends
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.

What new roof snagging looks like in Egham
Frogmore House, about 3.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Egham. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
The streets around a church such as St John's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. A survey in Egham needs access inside and out, including the loft hatch and any rooms with damp. If there is a side gate or a rear garden, let us know how to reach it. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Questions from Egham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Egham?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
Do you cover Egham?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Egham is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is looked at where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Egham?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
