Peper Harow questions
Is Peper Harow in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Peper Harow is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Peper Harow listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea as you book.
New roof snagging in Peper Harow
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges alike.
Being in a small place like Peper Harow makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when 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 any day of the week.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. In a small place like Peper Harow, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Book snagging before the final payment
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.

Buying a home or a new roof in Peper Harow
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Wanborough Manor, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Peper Harow. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Godalming station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What made you get in touch
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Peper Harow, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Peper Harow
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Do you need new roof snagging in Peper Harow?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible and you may be asked to pay anyway.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What experience they bring
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
