About our new roof snagging in Bognor Regis
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are tiles or slates sitting out of line and damage to other parts of the building.
Buying in a busy place like Bognor Regis can mean moving fast, and roof problems are easy to miss on a viewing. A new or replacement roof can also look neat from the pavement and still have snags at ridges, valleys or flashings. A careful look before you commit, to a purchase or to the final payment, gives you something in writing to raise.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

New roof snagging around Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is within about 1 mile 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Bognor Regis station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Bognor Regis is in West Sussex. In Bognor Regis, as across West Sussex, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. There is also a page for Portsmouth.

Why act early in Bognor Regis
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. In a busy place like Bognor Regis, water from a failed roof can run through a building before anyone spots it, where it damages ceilings, insulation and anything stored underneath. The earlier the cause is found, the smaller the job.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Bognor Regis: your questions answered
Is my home in Bognor Regis listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bognor Regis, take more of a battering?
Often, yes. Bognor Regis is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you work in Bognor Regis?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Bognor Regis included.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
What else we do in Bognor Regis
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. If the property is near the centre of Bognor Regis, let us know about car parks or permit rules nearby. Inside, the loft and any room with a stain are the places we’ll want to see. Outside, we work round the building to find the safe viewpoints.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- 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.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bognor Regis
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Bognor Regis. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
