Grayswood New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging in Grayswood and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Poorly finished verges
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Grayswood can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
About our new roof snagging in Grayswood
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. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. Typical surveys look at loose flashings at walls or chimneys and damage to other parts of the building, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Grayswood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local roofs and buyers in Grayswood
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.

Common questions in Grayswood
Do you carry out roof surveys in Grayswood?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Grayswood as anywhere else.
Is my home in Grayswood listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
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.

Useful tips for Grayswood property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It is a dated record of the roof at handover.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
