Questions from Hog Hatch
Is my home in Hog Hatch listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Hog Hatch?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Hog Hatch is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
New roof snagging in Hog Hatch: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at new flashings and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
In a smaller place like Hog Hatch, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What affects the price in Hog Hatch
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone

Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hog Hatch
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Hog Hatch, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What new roof snagging looks like in Hog Hatch
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Farnham Castle, about 0.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hog Hatch. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Do you need new roof snagging in Hog Hatch?
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, particularly when the weather is against them.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
The streets around a church such as St Mark the Evangelist Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Hog Hatch does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
