About our new roof snagging in Angmering-on-Sea
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. If you are worried about underlay ending short at the eaves and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Angmering-on-Sea, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Angmering-on-Sea, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- 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 photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
New roof snagging in Angmering-on-Sea: local notes
Angmering-on-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger 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. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Why act early in Angmering-on-Sea
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Angmering-on-Sea, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Angmering-on-Sea
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Angmering-on-Sea?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Angmering-on-Sea, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.
When to book a survey in Angmering-on-Sea
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Gaps at new flashings
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
