New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Lucas Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We are often asked to look into offcuts and broken tiles left behind and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, across flashings and valleys, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Lucas Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Useful tips for Lucas Green property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Diary the defects period end date
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Lucas Green homes and their roofs
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Brookwood station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Lucas Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful 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, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Lucas Green
Most homeowners cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from ground level and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For an older house near a landmark like Holy Trinity, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before you book

Questions from Lucas Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lucas Green?
Yes, Lucas Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lucas Green as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Lucas Green?
Yes, Lucas Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
