New roof snagging in Walliswood
We carry out new roof snagging in Walliswood and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed signs of condensation in the roof space and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Walliswood are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. 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.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.

Walliswood questions
Is Walliswood within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Walliswood is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
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.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for new stains after a downpour
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Walliswood, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.

Walliswood homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
Landlords with a home close to Ockley station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Common roof problems in Walliswood
Owners frequently get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
