Rushmoor homes and their roofs
Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rushmoor. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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.
Rushmoor is about 4 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. If you are in Rushmoor, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Our area takes in places right across Surrey. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

How new roof snagging works in Rushmoor
Our snagging inspections cover Rushmoor and the rest of London and South East England. A visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Rushmoor, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Do you need new roof snagging in Rushmoor?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their report turnaround times
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What insurance they carry
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Rushmoor needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Rushmoor: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Rushmoor?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is Rushmoor in the area you cover?
Yes, Rushmoor is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
