Cade Street questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cade Street?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Cade Street is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is Cade Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
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.
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.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Cade Street
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Common reasons to book are vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and verge tiles or slates not secured, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Older buildings in small places like Cade Street may be listed or 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 are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Cade Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Signs you need new roof snagging in Cade Street
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Buying a home or a new roof in Cade Street
About 4.7 miles east lies Bateman's, a reminder of how long the area around Cade Street has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.

Useful tips for Cade Street property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a proper look at the new roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Legal advice on your contract
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
