About our new roof snagging in Wormley
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Typical surveys look at underlay ending short at the eaves and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across new-build homes, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Wormley makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. 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. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What we can’t see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. For older village homes like those around Wormley, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Do you need new roof snagging in Wormley?
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Damage to other parts of the building
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Are they insured for the work?
Buying a home or a new roof in Wormley
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. 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 Witley station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Wormley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wormley?
Yes, Wormley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Wormley listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. 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.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Wormley, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
