Prices for new roof snagging in Langley Vale
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight

Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
About our new roof snagging in Langley Vale
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. Typical surveys look at poorly finished verges and debris left in gutters or valleys, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Langley Vale, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Langley Vale questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Langley Vale?
Yes, Langley Vale is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Langley Vale as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Langley Vale within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
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 to raise with the builder.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Langley Vale, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Do you need new roof snagging in Langley Vale?
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Landlords with a home close to Tattenham Corner station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether the price includes VAT

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
New roof snagging in Langley Vale: local notes
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy 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. The wider area around Langley Vale has a long history of building, with Fitznells Manor about 3.2 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St Stephen On The Downs, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
