What you can safely check yourself
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How new roof snagging works in Penny Pot
Our snagging inspections cover Penny Pot and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most frequently book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Older buildings in small places like Penny Pot may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Penny Pot, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Buying a home or a new roof in Penny Pot
With Botleys Mansion about 4.4 miles north-east, Penny Pot sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For landlords with property near Brookwood station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church such as Church of St Lawrence are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
