New Roof Snagging in Norney
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Norney, with photographs and a written report.
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
How new roof snagging works in Norney
We carry out new roof snagging in Norney and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters blocked by building debris and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
In a village or hamlet like Norney, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Why get it checked now?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Norney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

New roof snagging in Norney: local notes
With Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east, Norney sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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 live in an older home near Church of St Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Landlords with a home close to Godalming station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Norney is about 5 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. In Norney, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Norney is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work.

Neighbouring places we cover for new roof snagging include Lower Eashing (1 mile south), Peper Harow (1 mile south-west), Upper Eashing (1 mile south-east), Aaron's Hill (1 mile south-east) and Milford (2 miles south).

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Norney, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Norney
Is my home in Norney listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Norney in the area you cover?
Yes, Norney is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
How we price new roof snagging
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Norney
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
