New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Albourne Green
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. Common reasons to book are untidy or loose verge details and underlay not dressed into the gutter, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
Some older homes in villages like Albourne 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 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Albourne Green
Is Albourne Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Albourne Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you cover Albourne Green?
Yes, Albourne Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How do I book a survey in Albourne Green?

Why act early in Albourne Green
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Around Albourne Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

New roof snagging around Albourne Green
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
