New roof snagging in Argos Hill: what you get
We report on what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you are worried about ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and tiles or slates sitting out of line, we can find out what’s behind it.
For a small place like Argos Hill, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Argos Hill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- 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 is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We check them closely.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
What new roof snagging does not cover
It’s a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Pricing the remedial work
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Legal advice on your contract

What else we do in Argos Hill
Local roofs and buyers in Argos Hill
The wider area around Argos Hill has a long history of building, with Wadhurst Castle about 4.4 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Denys, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Argos Hill
How do I find out if my home in Argos Hill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Argos Hill?
Yes, Argos Hill is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
When to book a survey in Argos Hill
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Landlords with a home close to Crowborough station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What happens after the report arrives
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check before your warranty period ends
You receive a report with photographs of each snag and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
