New roof snagging in Frimley Green: what you get
A new roof is a big spend, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at loose flashings at walls or chimneys and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
In a smaller place like Frimley Green, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What affects the price in Frimley Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings frequently show up on new roofs. They’re recorded with photos.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Common questions in Frimley Green
How do I find out if my home in Frimley Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Frimley Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
When to book a survey in Frimley Green
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
For landlords with property near Farnborough North station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What new roof snagging looks like in Frimley Green
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Frimley Green doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
