New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Mousehill
Our report records what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. Common reasons to book are offcuts and broken tiles left behind and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Older buildings in small places like Mousehill 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. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. 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. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Mousehill questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mousehill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Mousehill as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Mousehill?
Yes. Mousehill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Why act early in Mousehill
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. For older village homes like those around Mousehill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Mousehill, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check the roof before you pay in full
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The address and postcode of the property
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Buying a home or a new roof in Mousehill
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Loseley Park about 3.8 miles north-east, Mousehill sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as St John the Evangelist's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you own a rental within reach of Milford (Surrey) station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
