About our new roof snagging in Littleton Common
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. Typical surveys look at underlay not dressed into the gutter and gaps at new flashings, across ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Littleton Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What new roof snagging looks like in Littleton Common
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Littleton Common has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 4.8 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
The streets around a church like Parish Church of St Matthew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Littleton Common is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Surrey. If you’re in Littleton Common, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our area takes in places right across Surrey. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
What this survey cannot tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Littleton Common
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Littleton Common, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey

- Let us know about parking near the property

Littleton Common: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Littleton Common?
Yes, Littleton Common is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Littleton Common is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Littleton Common?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
