About our new roof snagging in Wishanger Common
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 including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs alike.
For a small place like Wishanger Common, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

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, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
When to book a survey in Wishanger Common
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gutters blocked by building debris
The streets around a church like St John the Evangelist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Local roofs and buyers in Wishanger Common
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) 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.

FAQs for Wishanger Common
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wishanger Common?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wishanger Common as anywhere else.
Is my home in Wishanger Common listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Book snagging before the final payment
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Wishanger Common, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
