Broomershill New Roof Snagging
Independent new roof snagging in Broomershill. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
Useful tips for Broomershill property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
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.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
About our new roof snagging in Broomershill
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are underlay not dressed into the gutter and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
Being in a small place like Broomershill makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Broomershill homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Old Place Manor, about 1 mile west, show how far back building in the area around Broomershill goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Broomershill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Broomershill?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Broomershill is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Broomershill?
Yes. Broomershill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Common roof problems in Broomershill
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Problems we come across often include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: 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. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Broomershill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
