About our new roof snagging in Friday Street
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
For a small place like Friday Street, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Friday Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. Outbuildings and barns around Friday Street are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.

Questions from Friday Street
How do I find out if my home in Friday Street is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Friday Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I book a survey in Friday Street?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Practical tips
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

New roof snagging in Friday Street: local notes
Historic houses like Polesden Lacey, about 4.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Friday Street goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Take an older house close to Church of St James: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Common roof problems in Friday Street
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If you own a rental within reach of Gomshall station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
