How new roof snagging works in Weybourne
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. If you’ve noticed tiles or slates sitting out of line and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Weybourne, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs often have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Why act early in Weybourne
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Homes in smaller places like Weybourne can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

What we’re asked to look at in Weybourne
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
The streets around a church such as Church of the Ascension are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What new roof snagging looks like in Weybourne
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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Farnham Castle about 1.6 miles south-west, Weybourne sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Aldershot station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Weybourne
Is Weybourne in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Weybourne is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Weybourne is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a survey in Weybourne, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
