Nutcombe New Roof Snagging
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Nutcombe? You can book new roof snagging in Nutcombe and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.

How new roof snagging works in Nutcombe
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most frequently book us about underlay at the eaves left exposed and untidy or loose verge details.
For a small place like Nutcombe, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Nutcombe: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Nutcombe?
Yes, Nutcombe is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nutcombe?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Nutcombe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What new roof snagging looks like in Nutcombe
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so check with the council.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Haslemere station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Nutcombe
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nutcombe 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.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
