New roof snagging in Thursley, Surrey
New roof snagging in Thursley from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there is a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
New roof snagging in Thursley
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’re worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and gutters blocked by building debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and new flat roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Thursley are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Cottages and farmhouses around Thursley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Older and listed buildings around Thursley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What else we do in Thursley
Do you need new roof snagging in Thursley?
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

New roof snagging around Thursley
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

FAQs for Thursley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Thursley?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Thursley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s 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.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
