About our new roof snagging in Hascombe
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and damage to other parts of the building, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Hascombe 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.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Hascombe, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
What happens if roof problems are left?
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

New roof snagging around Hascombe
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. The wider area around Hascombe has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 4.8 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Hascombe: your questions answered
Is Hascombe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Hascombe is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
