New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Frensham
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. Common reasons to book are damage to other parts of the building and missing or blocked roof ventilation, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Frensham 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. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

New roof snagging in Frensham: local notes
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Farnham Castle, about 3.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Frensham. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Frensham questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Frensham?
Yes, Frensham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Frensham?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it can be seen.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Cottages and farmhouses around Frensham frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Do you need new roof snagging in Frensham?
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- When you will get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the survey will not cover
