Independent new roof snagging in Shepperton Green

What affects the price in Shepperton Green

Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • Height and safe access
  • The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
  • Roof area

What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Getting in touch

If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:

  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • Where the property is, with the postcode
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date
  • The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage

Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

New roof snagging in Shepperton Green: what you get

A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’re worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.

Smaller places like Shepperton Green often 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. That applies whether you are buying in Shepperton Green or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.

We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Questions from Shepperton Green

Do you carry out roof surveys in Shepperton Green?

Yes, Shepperton Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

Is Shepperton Green within the area you cover?

Yes, Shepperton Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.

How long will you be on site?

Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.

Do I have to be there for the survey?

Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?

Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.

Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?

Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Tips that help

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:

  • Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
  • Diary the defects period end date
  • Keep the contract and invoices together
  • Raise snags in writing with your roofer

You receive a report with photographs of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.

Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.

When to book a survey in Shepperton Green

Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.

Typical things we’re asked to look at include:

  • Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
  • Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
  • Verge tiles or slates not secured
  • Gutters blocked by building debris

Take an older house close to Church of St Mary Magdalene: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Choosing a roof surveyor

  • Whether you get a written report with photos
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
  • What the survey won’t cover
  • Are they insured for the work?

What’s in a roof survey

Honest limits

Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:

  • Estimates of what fixes will cost
  • Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
  • Whether the roof will leak in future

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.

What we look at

  • New-build homes
  • Flashings and valleys
  • Ridges and verges
  • Replacement roofs
  • New flat roofs
  • Loft conversions and dormers

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 as you book.

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

What new roof snagging looks like in Shepperton Green

Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. The wider area around Shepperton Green has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 3.6 miles south-west. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

If you let a flat or house near Shepperton station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What happens on the day

We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to a smaller place like Shepperton Green is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.

  1. First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
  2. The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
  3. We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
  4. Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
  5. You receive a report to share with your roofer.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
  • Check pets are kept safely away
  • Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Arrange a survey

We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
