New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Englefield Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’re worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and replacement roofs alike.
Around Englefield Green, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a survey in Englefield Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In an older home around Englefield Green, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

New roof snagging around Englefield Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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. About 3.2 miles north lies Frogmore House, a reminder of how long the area around Englefield Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Egham station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. For an older house near a landmark like Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
