New roof snagging in Mayes Green
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Mayes Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

When to book a survey in Mayes Green
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
What affects the price in Mayes Green
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Mayes Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Buying a home or a new roof in Mayes Green
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If you own a rental within reach of Ockley station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

FAQs for Mayes Green
Is Mayes Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mayes Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How do I book a survey in Mayes Green?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
