New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Littleton
Our snagging inspections cover Littleton and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and verge tiles or slates not secured.
Somewhere as small as Littleton, 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 are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Littleton
Will you come out to Littleton?
Yes, Littleton is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Littleton in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Littleton is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Littleton needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us about parking before the day
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Local roofs and buyers in Littleton
About 0.2 miles west lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Littleton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Francis, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Common roof problems in Littleton
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
If you own a rental within reach of Farncombe station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
