New roof snagging in Ewhurst Green: what you get
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are offcuts and broken tiles left behind and untidy or loose verge details.
Older buildings in small places like Ewhurst Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s 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.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Buying a home or a new roof in Ewhurst Green
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Ockley station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. For an older or listed building in a place like Ewhurst Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Ewhurst Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

When to book a survey in Ewhurst Green
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Questions from Ewhurst Green
Is Ewhurst Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is Ewhurst Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Ewhurst Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
