About our new roof snagging in Tyler's Green
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 work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’ve noticed loose flashings at walls or chimneys and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Tyler's Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. 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. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Tyler's Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Common questions in Tyler's Green
Will you come out to Tyler's Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tyler's Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Tyler's Green and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before booking.

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. 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.
Tyler's Green homes and their roofs
Titsey Place, about 3.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tyler's Green. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. If you let a flat or house near Caterham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Tyler's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
