New roof snagging in Heath End
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’re worried about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Heath End may be listed or 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’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
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.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Heath End
How do I find out if my home in Heath End 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Heath End?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Heath End as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How do I book a survey in Heath End?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Local roofs and buyers in Heath End
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Farnham Castle about 1.4 miles south-west, Heath End sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Aldershot station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
When to book a survey in Heath End
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Gaps at new flashings
The streets around a church such as St Mark the Evangelist Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Heath End, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- 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
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
