How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Newchapel, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Newchapel
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it’s 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 does set out clearly what we found. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Some older homes in villages like Newchapel are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it can be seen.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Newchapel
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newchapel can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why book with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Every finding written up with photos

Newchapel homes and their roofs
About 4 miles south lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Newchapel has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Dormans station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

How we price new roof snagging
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
For a price for new roof snagging in Newchapel, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Newchapel: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Newchapel?
Yes, Newchapel is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Newchapel as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Newchapel is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
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.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
