New roof snagging in Pyrford Village from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older roofs in small places like Pyrford Village can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

New roof snagging in Pyrford Village: what you get
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
For a small place like Pyrford Village, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, 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, Saturdays and Sundays.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Pyrford Village
Many people book because something does not look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
Landlords with a home close to West Byfleet station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the survey won’t cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Why act early in Pyrford Village
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a place like Pyrford Village, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
Why book us in Pyrford Village
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Buying a home or a new roof in Pyrford Village
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. The wider area around Pyrford Village has a long history of building, with Byfleet Manor about 2.3 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as St Nicholas's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Pyrford Village questions
Is Pyrford Village within the area you cover?
Yes. Pyrford Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Pyrford Village listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.

Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
