Westborough New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Westborough. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Poorly finished verges
Why it is worth a survey now in Westborough
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Westborough, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Westborough
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

New roof snagging in Westborough
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, we can find out what’s behind it.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Westborough, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. 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 Westborough. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Westborough
What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Parking around Westborough is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Buying a home or a new roof in Westborough
Guildford Castle, about 1.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Westborough. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you let a flat or house near Guildford station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Do you need new roof snagging in Westborough?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
If you live in an older home near St Francis Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Westborough: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Westborough?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Westborough?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
