New roof snagging in Send, Surrey
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags across Send, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
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.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
About our new roof snagging in Send
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’re worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Smaller places like Send frequently have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Send. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Send questions
Will you come out to Send?
Yes, Send is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is Send in the area you cover?
Yes, Send is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
What new roof snagging looks like in Send
With Clandon Park about 2.9 miles south, Send sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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 landlords with property near Clandon station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If you live in an older home near St William of York, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in Send, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Surrey.
We work across the GU23 postcode area for new roof snagging. If you need new roof snagging at a property on Sandy Lane, Farm Lane and Sandfields or anywhere close by, we can help. Close by, we survey roofs in Send Marsh (1 mile east), Burntcommon (1 mile east), Sutton Green (1 mile south-west), Mayford (2 miles west) and Pyle Hill (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (3 miles south-west), Woking (3 miles north-west), Camberley (9 miles west), Epsom (12 miles east), Farnham (13 miles south-west) and Ewell (13 miles east).
Around Send
Typical jobs here are in homes near St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School, White Rose Lane and The New Inn. The nearest railway station is Clandon station, roughly 2.2 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Send and Ripley History Society Museum (1.8 miles east) and Woking Community Hospital (2.1 miles north-west). Open spaces near Send include Boldermere Lake and Papercourt Marshes.
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. Homes in smaller places like Send can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Send, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered
