New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Whitmoor Vale
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Common reasons to book are untidy or loose verge details and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Whitmoor Vale are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Whitmoor Vale homes and their roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

FAQs for Whitmoor Vale
Is Whitmoor Vale in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Whitmoor Vale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
When to book a survey in Whitmoor Vale
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Surveys for landlords and agents in Whitmoor Vale
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere as small as Whitmoor Vale, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Advice
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
How we price new roof snagging
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you contact us
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
