How new roof snagging works in Lyne
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Common reasons to book are underlay not dressed into the gutter and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, on loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
Somewhere as small as Lyne, 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’re 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it is applicable. In a place like Lyne, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Clear package prices, with VAT included

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Getting a price 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. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Lyne questions
Is my home in Lyne listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Lyne in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Lyne is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Lyne often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Lyne

We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Common roof problems in Lyne
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

What new roof snagging looks like in Lyne
With Botleys Mansion about 1 mile south, Lyne sits in an area with a long building history. 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. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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 own a rental within reach of Chertsey station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
