New roof snagging in Bevendean: what you get
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We’re frequently asked to look into vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and gutters blocked by building debris, across new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys.
In a smaller place like Bevendean, some houses face open ground, so their roofs may take more wind and driving rain. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Questions from Bevendean
Do you cover smaller places like Bevendean?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bevendean?
Often, yes. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Bevendean is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Common roof problems in Bevendean
Snags happen on many building jobs. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
Look out for signs like these:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Holy Nativity Community Project, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Buying a home or a new roof in Bevendean
Bevendean is within about 2 miles of the coast, 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. About 2 miles south-west lies Royal Pavilion, a reminder of how long the area around Bevendean has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Landlords with a home close to Moulsecoomb station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Being in a smaller place like Bevendean doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.

What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Details hidden from sight
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Bevendean
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
What happens if roof problems are left?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it is applicable. Around Bevendean, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Packages from £150, including VAT
- Visits on any day of the week
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- File all paperwork for the new roof
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
