About our new roof snagging in Sheet's Heath
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about signs of condensation in the roof space and untidy or loose verge details.
Being in a small place like Sheet's Heath makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
You receive a report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
New roof snagging in Sheet's Heath: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Saviour's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Prices for new roof snagging in Sheet's Heath
To price your survey, we look at:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Why it is worth a survey now in Sheet's Heath
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a small place like Sheet's Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Why book with us
- Visits on any day of the week
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof

Common questions in Sheet's Heath
How do I find out if my home in Sheet's Heath is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sheet's Heath?
Yes, Sheet's Heath is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Sheet's Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Checking the roof from ground level
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
