What new roof snagging looks like in Runfold
The wider area around Runfold has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 2.2 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy 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.
For landlords with property near Farnham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

About our new roof snagging in Runfold
Our snagging inspections cover Runfold and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Typical surveys look at gaps at new flashings and poorly finished verges, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Runfold are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Runfold, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.

What else we do in Runfold
Runfold questions
Is Runfold in the area you cover?
Yes, Runfold is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Runfold?
Yes, Runfold is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. In a place like Runfold, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

When to book a survey in Runfold
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you live in an older home near The Church of the Good Shepherd, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the price includes VAT
What affects the price in Runfold
When we price a survey, we consider:
