New roof snagging in Outwood
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’re worried about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Outwood, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What new roof snagging looks like in Outwood
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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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.
For landlords with property near Salfords station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Outwood can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, like 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
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Questions from Outwood
Do you carry out roof surveys in Outwood?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Outwood 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 survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Outwood
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Do you need new roof snagging in Outwood?
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What experience they bring
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What happens if roof problems are left?
Photographs from the ground rarely show the detail. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. For an older or listed building in a place like Outwood, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
