About our new roof snagging in Bodle Street Green
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. Typical surveys look at underlay at the eaves left exposed and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
For a small place like Bodle Street Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What new roof snagging looks like in Bodle Street Green
About 4.6 miles west lies Horselunges Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Bodle Street Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Roofs we survey in Bodle Street Green
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near Bodle Street Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
