Farleigh questions
Is Farleigh in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Farleigh listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How much is new roof snagging?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
New roof snagging in Farleigh
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and untidy or loose verge details.
For a small place like Farleigh, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Farleigh homes and their roofs
The wider area around Farleigh has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 2.2 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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 are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you own a rental within reach of Upper Warlingham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Farleigh is about 4 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. In Farleigh, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Surrey. We also survey roofs in London.

Local landmarks in Farleigh
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Ledgers Wood. For rail, the closest station is Upper Warlingham station, roughly 2.3 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Warlingham Park Hospital (0.6 miles south) and East Surrey Museum (3.7 miles south-west). Open spaces near Farleigh include Nore Hill and Hutchinson's Bank.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Farleigh can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Why act early in Farleigh
A defects or warranty period does not last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. For older village homes like those around Farleigh, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep the contract and invoices together
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
