New roof snagging in Mickleham: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Mickleham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Common questions in Mickleham
Do you cover smaller places like Mickleham?
Yes, Mickleham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Mickleham?
Yes, Mickleham is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Mickleham?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Mickleham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
