New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Ewhurst
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We survey loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new-build homes, and people most frequently book us about untidy or loose verge details and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Older buildings in small places like Ewhurst 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. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Legal advice on your contract
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Outbuildings and barns around Ewhurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Ewhurst, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Ewhurst homes and their roofs
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently 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.
