About our new roof snagging in Warlingham
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and poorly finished verges, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys.
Smaller places like Warlingham often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Warlingham. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In a smaller place like Warlingham, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.

Warlingham: your questions answered
Is Warlingham in the area you cover?
Yes, Warlingham is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Warlingham?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
When to book a survey in Warlingham
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Damage to other parts of the building
If you own a rental within reach of Upper Warlingham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. They’re photographed for the report.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
New roof snagging in Warlingham: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses such as Addington Palace, about 3.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Warlingham goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.

- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
