New roof snagging in Shottermill
A new roof is a big spend, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. If you are worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys alike.
In a smaller place like Shottermill, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Shottermill 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.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Different roofs, different checks
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we look at them carefully.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Shottermill, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

New roof snagging around Shottermill
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

- Untidy or loose verge details
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For an older house near a landmark like St. Stephen's Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Useful tips for Shottermill property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check before your warranty period ends
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
