New roof snagging in Codmore Hill
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are frequently at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We are often asked to look into debris left in gutters or valleys and damage to other parts of the building, across flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
Being in a small place like Codmore Hill 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. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

- Untidy or loose verge details

Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether the price includes VAT
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- What’s under the new coverings
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Codmore Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we check them carefully.
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Buying a home or a new roof in Codmore Hill
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. 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. Old Place Manor, about 1 mile south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Codmore Hill. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near 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.
