New Roof Snagging in Redhill
A careful look at the new roof at your property in Redhill, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.

How new roof snagging works in Redhill
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
Around towns like Redhill, many houses have gained extensions, dormers, porches or garages, and many of those additions have flat roofs. The joints where a new roof meets an old wall or slope are a common source of leaks. For a home you are buying in Redhill, or a roof just finished there, those joints get a careful look.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it is visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.

New roof snagging around Redhill
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Redhill station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a family home in Redhill, a small roof fault lets water into places you cannot see, soaking loft insulation, wall tops and timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there’s more to put right.

What we are asked to look at in Redhill
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
Problems we come across often include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
The streets around a church such as Saint Matthew's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

Redhill: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Redhill?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Redhill?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
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, and you may want legal advice for that.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Redhill?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

Roofs we survey in Redhill
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
Checking the roof from the ground
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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. A visit in Redhill runs most smoothly with the loft hatch clear, side gates open and a parking spot in mind. Someone needs to let us in, so let us know who that will be.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
