New roof snagging in Frimley: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and verge tiles or slates not secured, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges.
Around towns like Frimley, many houses have gained extensions, dormers, porches or garages, and many of those additions have flat roofs. The joints where a new roof meets an old wall or slope are a common source of leaks. On a purchase or a newly finished roof in Frimley, those junctions are high on the list.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Frimley, we need access to the loft, any rooms with leaks or stains, and the outside of the building. If there is a side gate or a rear garden, let us know how to reach it. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Frimley questions
How do I find out if my home in Frimley is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Frimley in the area you cover?
Yes, Frimley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Frimley as anywhere else.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Frimley homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
The streets around a church like St. Peter's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What else we do in Frimley

Do you need new roof snagging in Frimley?
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If you let a flat or house near Frimley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
