New roof snagging in Hamsey Green: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Hamsey Green and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are offcuts and broken tiles left behind and flashings not properly dressed or fixed.
Some older homes in villages like Hamsey Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.

Do you need new roof snagging in Hamsey Green?
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
The streets around a church such as St Antony are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Hamsey Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Hamsey Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Hamsey Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Hamsey Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings often show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.
Buying a home or a new roof in Hamsey Green
Addington Palace, about 2.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hamsey Green. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Hamsey Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
