New roof snagging in Enton Green

New roof snagging in Enton Green: local notes

With Loseley Park about 4.1 miles north, Enton Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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 like Church of All Saints 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.

About our new roof snagging in Enton Green

The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and gutters blocked by building debris.

Being in a small place like Enton Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Enton Green: your questions answered

Do you cover Enton Green?

We do. The survey and report are the same in Enton Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Enton Green?

Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.

Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?

No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.

How much time does a snagging visit need?

Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.

What new roof snagging doesn’t cover

Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:

  • Whether the roof will leak in future
  • Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
  • What’s under the new coverings

If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

Roofs we survey in Enton Green

  • Replacement roofs
  • Flashings and valleys
  • Ridges and verges
  • Loft conversions and dormers
  • New-build homes
  • New flat roofs

When to book a survey in Enton Green

Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.

Here are some of the things we see often:

  • Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
  • Poorly finished verges
  • Tiles or slates sitting out of line
  • Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered

If you let a flat or house near Milford (Surrey) station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Choosing a roof surveyor

  • What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
  • Which limits apply to the survey
  • Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
  • How soon the report will arrive

What to expect from a roof survey

Why get it checked now?

A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Older cottages and farmhouses around Enton Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Why book with us

  • An independent view of the roof
  • Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
  • Clear package prices, with VAT included
  • Photos and a written report every time

Surveys for landlords and agents in Enton Green

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.

DIY checks: what’s safe

It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What happens on the day

We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Enton Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

  1. We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
  2. The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
  3. We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
  4. The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
  5. You get a photo report of each snag.

Before the survey

  • Keep pets in another room
  • If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
  • Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Book a survey

Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
