How new roof snagging works in Tilford Common
Our report records what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We do not give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Being in a small place like Tilford Common 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 when you book. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Tilford Common
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Around Tilford Common, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

New roof snagging around Tilford Common
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Farnham Castle about 3.9 miles north-west, Tilford Common 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. For landlords with property near Farnham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Tilford Common questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tilford Common?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tilford Common as anywhere else.
Is Tilford Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Tilford Common is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Tilford Common can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know where you stand. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Look for new stains after a downpour
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
