About our new roof snagging in Margery
Our snagging inspections cover Margery and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Margery, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Why it is worth a survey now in Margery
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. For an older or listed building in a place like Margery, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Keep the contract and invoices together
You receive a photo-illustrated written report of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Common questions in Margery
How do I find out if my home in Margery is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Margery within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Margery?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges

Margery homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Landlords with a home close to Reigate station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church such as Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Margery, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
