New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Slough Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips.
For a small place like Slough Green, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

When to book a survey in Slough Green
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
For landlords with property near Balcombe station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

- What the survey will not cover
What this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Details hidden from sight
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Common questions in Slough Green
Is Slough Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Slough Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Slough Green as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Slough Green?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Slough Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Slough Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey

New roof snagging around Slough Green
Tyes Place, about 1.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Slough Green. 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, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
