Useful tips for Wyke property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
You receive a report with photos of each snag and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
New roof snagging in Wyke: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on in good time. If you’re worried about gutters blocked by building debris and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Some older homes in villages like Wyke are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wyke
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
New roof snagging around Wyke
With Wanborough Manor about 2.2 miles south-east, Wyke sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Common questions in Wyke
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wyke?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Wyke?
Yes, Wyke is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Wyke
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Common reasons to book include:
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
Landlords with a home close to Ash 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
- What happens after the report arrives
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What the survey will not cover
- What experience they bring
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Wyke can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- 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 checked.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
