New roof snagging around Mimbridge
The wider area around Mimbridge has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles north-east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of St Lawrence: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you let a flat or house near Woking station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

About our new roof snagging in Mimbridge
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. Typical surveys look at loose or badly finished ridge tiles and tiles or slates sitting out of line, across new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Mimbridge may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Mimbridge
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mimbridge?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Mimbridge?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Mimbridge is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How do I book a survey in Mimbridge?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Mimbridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Mimbridge
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Legal advice on your contract
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
What happens if roof problems are left?
Raising snags before the final payment is usually simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mimbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
