How new roof snagging works in Wrecclesham
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey ridges and verges, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and verge tiles or slates not secured.
In a smaller place like Wrecclesham, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Common roof problems in Wrecclesham
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gaps at new flashings
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
For an older house near a landmark like St Peter's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely

New roof snagging around Wrecclesham

Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check the roof before you pay in full
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Wrecclesham
Is my home in Wrecclesham listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wrecclesham?
Yes, Wrecclesham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wrecclesham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Wrecclesham?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
