Bepton Common: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bepton Common?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Bepton Common is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea as you book.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
About our new roof snagging in Bepton Common
We carry out new roof snagging in Bepton Common and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
Some older homes in villages like Bepton Common are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

For landlords and managing agents

If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Details hidden from sight
- Legal advice on your contract

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Do you need new roof snagging in Bepton Common?
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What the survey won’t cover
Buying a home or a new roof in Bepton Common
Cowdray House, about 1.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bepton Common. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Bepton Common, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
