New roof snagging for homes and businesses in The Sands
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. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are signs of condensation in the roof space and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like The Sands makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Your questions about new roof snagging in The Sands
Will you come out to The Sands?
Yes, The Sands is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is The Sands in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and The Sands is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
What affects the price in The Sands
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

These details help when you contact us:

Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like The Sands, 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check pets are kept safely away

Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like The Sands, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
What you get with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

New roof snagging around The Sands
The wider area around The Sands has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 2.8 miles west. 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. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy 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.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Church of the Good Shepherd, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For landlords with property near Farnham station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
