New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Redlands
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or blocked roof ventilation and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
Older buildings in small places like Redlands may be listed or 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Why get it checked now?
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. Around Redlands, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- A report with photographs
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Redlands, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Keep the contract and invoices together
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
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 check the roof.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Redlands
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
For landlords with property near Farnham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their insurance cover

Buying a home or a new roof in Redlands
About 2.3 miles south-east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Redlands has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
