About our new roof snagging in The Chart
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about signs of condensation in the roof space and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
For a small place like The Chart, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Book snagging before the final payment
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.

Common questions in The Chart
Do you cover The Chart?
Yes, The Chart is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in The Chart as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in The Chart?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.

What new roof snagging looks like in The Chart
The wider area around The Chart has a long history of building, with Chartwell about 1.9 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like 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 walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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.
Landlords with a home close to Hurst Green station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church such as St Andrew's are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
The Chart is about 6 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Whether the building in The Chart is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Our Surrey coverage includes The Chart. We also survey roofs in Crawley.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around The Chart, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- 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 we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like The Chart, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
