About our new roof snagging in Hindhead
Our report records what we see with photos and plain 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 doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay ending short at the eaves and damage to other parts of the building.
Older buildings in small places like Hindhead may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Do you need new roof snagging in Hindhead?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

What else we do in Hindhead
Local roofs and buyers in Hindhead
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. 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 check with the council.
Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Flashings
Poorly finished flashings frequently show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are looked at closely on new slate roofs as far as can be seen safely.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Hindhead can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
How quickly the report arrives depends 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.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
FAQs for Hindhead
Will you come out to Hindhead?
Yes. Hindhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you cover Hindhead?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Hindhead is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
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.
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.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
