New roof snagging in Gomshall: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and broken coverings left on a new roof.
Being in a small place like Gomshall makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Why act early in Gomshall
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. Around Gomshall, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
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.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
FAQs for Gomshall
Do you carry out roof surveys in Gomshall?
Yes, Gomshall is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Gomshall?
Yes, Gomshall is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
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.
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Gomshall, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- 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 is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Check pets are kept safely away

New roof snagging in Gomshall: local notes

Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. About 2.9 miles north lies Hatchlands Park, a reminder of how long the area around Gomshall has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
