What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Godalming is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

How new roof snagging works in Godalming
We carry out new roof snagging in Godalming and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges alike.
Around Godalming, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Why act early in Godalming
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Around Godalming, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Godalming homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Loseley Park about 2.2 miles north, Godalming sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to St Edmund Church: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Godalming station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
