New roof snagging in West Clandon: what you get
Roof work frequently leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you are worried about debris left in gutters or valleys and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges alike.
For a small place like West Clandon, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as West Clandon, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging around West Clandon
Clandon Park, about 1.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West Clandon. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you own a rental within reach of Clandon station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Prices for new roof snagging in West Clandon
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The size of the roof
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. We check them closely.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps where they can be seen.
Why act early in West Clandon
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Older and listed buildings around West Clandon may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
