How new roof snagging works in Gatton
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. We survey ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are poorly finished verges and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Some older homes in villages like Gatton are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

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, which helps when we look at the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Common questions in Gatton
Do you cover Gatton?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Gatton?
Yes. Gatton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.

Local roofs and buyers in Gatton
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Landlords with a home close to Merstham station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check the roof before you pay in full
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Gatton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Why act early in Gatton
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Gatton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
