Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Longcross can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

About our new roof snagging in Longcross
Our snagging inspections cover Longcross and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys alike.
In a village or hamlet like Longcross, homes are frequently 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 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.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Do you need new roof snagging in Longcross?
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gaps at new flashings
If you own a rental within reach of Longcross station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
What new roof snagging does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint

Longcross questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Longcross?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Longcross is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Longcross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Longcross homes and their roofs
Botleys Mansion, about 2.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Longcross. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you live in an older home near Longcross Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. We look at them closely.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Longcross can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
