New roof snagging in Sunnymeads: what you get
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’ve noticed damage to other parts of the building and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Sunnymeads makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, 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. In a hamlet or village like Sunnymeads, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Sunnymeads
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If you live in an older home near SS Peter and Andrew's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their insurance cover
Sunnymeads homes and their roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many 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. With Frogmore House about 1.6 miles west, Sunnymeads sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Sunnymeads station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Sunnymeads is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Surrey. Anywhere in Sunnymeads, we can carry out new roof snagging at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Sunnymeads is one of the places in Surrey we cover for new roof snagging. There’s also a page for Guildford.

Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Sunnymeads
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Diary the defects period end date
- Look for new stains after a downpour
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.

FAQs for Sunnymeads
Is my home in Sunnymeads listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Sunnymeads?
Yes, Sunnymeads is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Sunnymeads
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
