FAQs for Fetcham
Do you cover Fetcham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Fetcham listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
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.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
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. Just say which days work for you.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
About our new roof snagging in Fetcham
Our report records what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’ve noticed gutters or fascias damaged during the job and tiles or slates sitting out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
Around Fetcham, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to Fetcham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are looked at closely.
Fetcham homes and their roofs
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Polesden Lacey, about 2.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Fetcham. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Common roof problems in Fetcham
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Gaps at new flashings
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
Landlords with a home close to Leatherhead station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a smaller place like Fetcham, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
