FAQs for West Molesey
Do you carry out roof surveys in West Molesey?
Yes, West Molesey is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like West Molesey?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in West Molesey?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
New roof snagging in West Molesey
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Smaller places like West Molesey frequently have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you are buying in West Molesey or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

New roof snagging around West Molesey
With Hampton Court Palace about 1.6 miles east, West Molesey sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Hampton station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to West Molesey is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- 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 is visible.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Getting a price
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that do not sit flat can let rain in. We note any that look out of place.
Flashings
Loose or badly dressed flashings are a common snag. They’re recorded with photos.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
