New roof snagging in Stoughton: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Stoughton can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. 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. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Stoughton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoughton?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Stoughton?
Yes. Stoughton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Stoughton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
Buying a home or a new roof in Stoughton
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses such as Guildford Castle, about 1.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Stoughton goes. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Emmanuel Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Landlords with a home close to Guildford station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation

Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
