About our new roof snagging in Highstreet Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey new-build homes, replacement roofs and new flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are poorly finished verges and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Somewhere as small as Highstreet Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

New roof snagging in Highstreet Green: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Whatever the street in Highstreet Green, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

FAQs for Highstreet Green
Will you come out to Highstreet Green?
Yes, Highstreet Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you cover Highstreet Green?
Yes, Highstreet Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Why it is worth a survey now in Highstreet Green
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For older village homes like those around Highstreet Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Highstreet Green
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Highstreet Green, access is frequently 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.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.

- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before we arrive
