About our new roof snagging in Egham Wick
Building work can leave a mess 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. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. Common reasons to book are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and debris left in gutters or valleys, on loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
Older buildings in small places like Egham Wick may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

FAQs for Egham Wick
Is Egham Wick within the area you cover?
Yes, Egham Wick is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Egham Wick in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Egham Wick as anywhere else.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Egham Wick 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.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
Buying a home or a new roof in Egham Wick
Historic houses like Frogmore House, about 3.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Egham Wick goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
The streets around a church like Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you own a rental within reach of Virginia Water station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
