New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Little Sandhurst
We carry out new roof snagging in Little Sandhurst and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re frequently asked to look into offcuts and broken tiles left behind and verge tiles or slates not secured, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys.
Around Little Sandhurst, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Little Sandhurst
Do you cover Little Sandhurst?
Yes, Little Sandhurst is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Sandhurst?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Prices for new roof snagging in Little Sandhurst
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
For a price for your roof in Little Sandhurst, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we look at them closely.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. A visit to a smaller place like Little Sandhurst is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

Buying a home or a new roof in Little Sandhurst
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Sandhurst station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
