How new roof snagging works in Pitland Street
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’re worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and damage to other parts of the building, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Pitland Street makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as 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 weekdays and at weekends.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

New roof snagging in Pitland Street: local notes
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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary The Virgins Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Gomshall station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

To get a price for new roof snagging in Pitland Street, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Checking the roof from ground level
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.

Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.

No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
