New roof snagging in Oxshott
We carry out new roof snagging in Oxshott and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and damage to other parts of the building.
In a smaller place like Oxshott, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it is right.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed and get a careful look.
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Pricing the remedial work
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

- New flat roofs

- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Homes around Oxshott frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Common questions in Oxshott
Is Oxshott within the area you cover?
Yes. Oxshott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Oxshott?
Yes, Oxshott is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Local roofs and buyers in Oxshott
About 1.8 miles north-west lies The Homewood, a reminder of how long the area around Oxshott has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For landlords with property near Oxshott station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. The streets around a church such as St Andrew's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
