New roof snagging for homes and businesses in West Horsley
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. If you’ve noticed tiles or slates sitting out of line and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, we can find out what’s behind it, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers alike.
In a smaller place like West Horsley, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Questions from West Horsley
Do you cover smaller places like West Horsley?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in West Horsley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are looked at.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around West Horsley, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered

New roof snagging around West Horsley
With Hatchlands Park about 1.6 miles south-west, West Horsley sits in an area with a long building history. 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. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Horsley station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
