What new roof snagging looks like in Limpsfield
The wider area around Limpsfield has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 1.3 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own a rental within reach of Oxted station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

How new roof snagging works in Limpsfield
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, 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. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Somewhere as small as Limpsfield, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.

What else we do in Limpsfield
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere like Limpsfield needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.

Questions from Limpsfield
How do I find out if my home in Limpsfield is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Limpsfield?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Limpsfield is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
