Pirbright New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging in Pirbright from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
What affects the price in Pirbright
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
New roof snagging in Pirbright: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Pirbright and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Pirbright are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Do you need new roof snagging in Pirbright?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Poorly finished verges
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Pirbright questions
Is Pirbright in the area you cover?
Yes, Pirbright is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Pirbright is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
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.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Pirbright, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Pirbright
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Around Pirbright, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- An independent look at the roof

New roof snagging around Pirbright
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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. With Wanborough Manor about 4.4 miles south, Pirbright 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
