Wentworth New Roof Snagging
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in Wentworth, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Diary the defects period end date
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Wentworth
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about offcuts and broken tiles left behind and missing or blocked roof ventilation, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Wentworth may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Around Wentworth, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
For a price for your roof in Wentworth, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Local roofs and buyers in Wentworth
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.1 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Wentworth goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark like Christ Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Longcross station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What affects the price in Wentworth
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The size of the roof
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Wentworth often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets in another room
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

FAQs for Wentworth
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wentworth?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wentworth as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Wentworth within the area you cover?
Yes. Wentworth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- Details hidden from sight
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
