New roof snagging in Mid Holmwood and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Gaps at new flashings
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
About our new roof snagging in Mid Holmwood
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photographs to share with your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’re worried about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Being in a small place like Mid Holmwood makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Mid Holmwood, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Mid Holmwood, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Anything about access we should know
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Buying a home or a new roof in Mid Holmwood
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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. Polesden Lacey, about 4.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mid Holmwood. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Holmwood station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
