About our new roof snagging in Loxhill
Our snagging inspections cover Loxhill and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey ridges and verges, replacement roofs and new flat roofs, and people most often book us about underlay at the eaves left exposed and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
In a village or hamlet like Loxhill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you are 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

New roof snagging in Loxhill: local notes
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Witley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Keep the contract and invoices together
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Loxhill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey

Advice
Common questions in Loxhill
Do you cover Loxhill?
Yes, Loxhill is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Loxhill?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Checking the roof from ground level
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Older cottages and farmhouses around Loxhill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
