New roof snagging in Ewshot: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We’re often asked to look into gaps at new flashings and underlay ending short at the eaves, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Ewshot may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Ewshot

Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gaps at new flashings
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What else we do in Ewshot
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Ewshot, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Ewshot: your questions answered
Is Ewshot in the area you cover?
Yes, Ewshot is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Ewshot?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
New roof snagging around Ewshot
About 1.9 miles south-east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Ewshot has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
Why act early in Ewshot
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Around Ewshot, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
