New roof snagging in Mytchett, Surrey
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Mytchett and the rest of Surrey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Untidy or loose verge details
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Mytchett
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. We’re often asked to look into underlay ending short at the eaves and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges.
Around Mytchett, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a smaller place like Mytchett, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Local roofs and buyers in Mytchett
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy 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 Wanborough Manor about 4.9 miles south-east, Mytchett sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Farnborough North station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Why it is worth a survey now in Mytchett
Photos from ground level rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Mytchett, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Mytchett questions
Is Mytchett within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Mytchett?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Mytchett is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
