New roof snagging in Linchmere
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. Common reasons to book are broken coverings left on a new roof and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
Somewhere as small as Linchmere, 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. 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check the roof before you pay in full
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 is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.

New roof snagging in Linchmere: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How we price new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

FAQs for Linchmere
Will you come out to Linchmere?
Yes. Linchmere is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Linchmere?
Yes, Linchmere is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Linchmere?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Common roof problems in Linchmere
Many people book because something does not look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- What experience they bring
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- When you will get the report
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Linchmere, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Find any records of previous roof work
