New roof snagging in Ewell Minnis: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at debris left in gutters or valleys and poorly finished verges, across loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Being in a small place like Ewell Minnis makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. 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 any day of the week.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

New roof snagging in Ewell Minnis: local notes
Ewell Minnis lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a careful look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. The wider area around Ewell Minnis has a long history of building, with Acrise Place about 4.1 miles west. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Anthony the Martyr, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Ewell Minnis: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Ewell Minnis is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Ewell Minnis?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Pricing the remedial work
- What’s under the new coverings
