New roof snagging in Lower Green, Surrey
Find out the condition of the new roof at your property in Lower Green from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. Fitted vents are looked at.
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
New roof snagging in Lower Green: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’re worried about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Lower Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Lower Green
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lower Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Lower Green?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Lower Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Buying a home or a new roof in Lower Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses like Hampton Court Palace, about 1.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Lower Green goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Tips that help
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Prices for new roof snagging in Lower Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
