New roof snagging in Pachesham Park
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. We survey new-build homes, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
In a village or hamlet like Pachesham Park, 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Pachesham Park frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.

Common questions in Pachesham Park

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Pachesham Park is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.

Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
When to book a survey in Pachesham Park
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
We are often asked to look at:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Landlords with a home close to Ashtead station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What insurance they carry
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
Pachesham Park homes and their roofs
Historic houses like The Homewood, about 3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Pachesham Park goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
