Questions from Thorpe Green
Will you come out to Thorpe Green?
Yes. Thorpe Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Thorpe Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photographs for you to pass to your builder.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
New roof snagging in Thorpe Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, 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. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you are worried about underlay ending short at the eaves and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Thorpe Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Thorpe Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 2.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Thorpe Green goes. 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Virginia Water station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Thorpe Green
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Thorpe Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
