How new roof snagging works in Aldwick
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Aldwick, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you are buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Check the roof before you pay in full
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a proper look.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
Aldwick homes and their roofs
Aldwick lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you own a rental within reach of Bognor Regis station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark such as St Richard’s Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

FAQs for Aldwick
How do I find out if my home in Aldwick is listed?
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 cover smaller places like Aldwick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best 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 deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. A visit to a smaller place like Aldwick is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
