Common questions in Lingfield Common
Is Lingfield Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is Lingfield Common in the area you cover?
Yes, Lingfield Common is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lingfield Common as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How new roof snagging works in Lingfield Common
Our snagging inspections cover Lingfield Common and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed underlay not dressed into the gutter and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Lingfield Common makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Common roof problems in Lingfield Common
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If you own a rental within reach of Lingfield station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.

What new roof snagging looks like in Lingfield Common
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What to tell us when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. For an older or listed building in a place like Lingfield Common, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why us?
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent view of the roof
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Prices that include VAT

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Lingfield Common, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
