New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Whiteley Village
Building work can leave a mess 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’re worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Whiteley Village, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Whiteley Village questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Whiteley Village?
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.
Is Whiteley Village in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Whiteley Village as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Checking the roof from the ground
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
You receive a report with photos of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Whiteley Village can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Whiteley Village
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Historic houses such as The Homewood, about 1.8 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Whiteley Village goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mark, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
