How new roof snagging works in Shepperton
We carry out new roof snagging in Shepperton and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about poorly finished verges and broken coverings left on a new roof.
Houses in smaller places like Shepperton can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. Whether you’re buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a careful look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We check them closely.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Shepperton is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.

What affects the price in Shepperton
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
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. Arranging work in a smaller place like Shepperton is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Buying a home or a new roof in Shepperton
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. About 3.8 miles south-east lies The Homewood, a reminder of how long the area around Shepperton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. 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.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Shepperton
Is Shepperton within the area you cover?
Yes, Shepperton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shepperton?
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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
