New roof snagging in Shamley Green: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys alike.
Some older homes in villages like Shamley Green are listed or sit 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Prices for new roof snagging in Shamley Green
To price your survey, we check:
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
To get a price for new roof snagging in Shamley Green, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Shamley Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What new roof snagging looks like in Shamley Green
With Chilworth Manor about 2.5 miles north, Shamley Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Landlords with a home close to Chilworth station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Shamley Green
Is my home in Shamley Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Shamley Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What does a new roof inspection include?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
What new roof snagging does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
