New roof snagging in Mayford, Surrey
Know where you stand with the new roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out new roof snagging in Mayford.
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
What we’re asked to look at in Mayford
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
For an older house near a landmark like St Mark's Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
About our new roof snagging in Mayford
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Mayford, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently 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.
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.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Mayford can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Mayford questions
Will you come out to Mayford?
Yes, Mayford is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Mayford in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Mayford?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
New roof snagging in Mayford: local notes
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Clandon Park about 4 miles south-east, Mayford sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Worplesdon station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
We will typically ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
