How new roof snagging works in Upper Eashing
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you are worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Eashing, 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. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

What we look for on each type of roof

Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are checked closely on new slate roofs as far as can safely be seen.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Upper Eashing
Is my home in Upper Eashing listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Upper Eashing?
Yes, Upper Eashing is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Upper Eashing as anywhere else.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Do you need new roof snagging in Upper Eashing?
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mark's Church and Community Centre, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking anyone

- What experience they bring

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Upper Eashing homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Upper Eashing goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
