New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Russ Hill
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey ridges and verges, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are broken coverings left on a new roof and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Somewhere as small as Russ Hill, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Questions from Russ Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Russ Hill?
Yes. Russ Hill 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.
How do I find out if my home in Russ Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a proper look at the new roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- What’s under the new coverings
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Russ Hill
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Local roofs and buyers in Russ Hill
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind

- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles

Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Russ Hill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
