- Signs of condensation in the loft space
What happens on the day
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Willey Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

New roof snagging in Willey Green
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and new flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are debris left in gutters or valleys and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Some older homes in villages like Willey Green 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. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
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 it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

New roof snagging around Willey Green
Historic houses like Wanborough Manor, about 1.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Willey Green goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mark, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Wanborough station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Useful tips for Willey Green property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
Different roofs, different checks

Willey Green questions
Is my home in Willey Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Willey Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Willey Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
