Angmering New Roof Snagging
New roof snagging in Angmering and the rest of West Sussex. We survey seven days a week.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
Common roof problems in Angmering
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in at the first heavy rain.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Damage to other parts of the building
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Margaret, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Angmering
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed signs of condensation in the roof space and poorly finished verges, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Angmering can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather usually shows first. Whether you’re buying or signing off new work, those edges deserve a close look. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

FAQs for Angmering
Will you come out to Angmering?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Angmering?
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.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Angmering?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Angmering, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We check it where it’s visible.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check the roof before you pay in full
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Other services in Angmering
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Local roofs and buyers in Angmering
Angmering is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. The wider area around Angmering has a long history of building, with Ecclesden Manor about 0.4 miles east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Landlords with a home close to Angmering station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
