New roof snagging in Cooper's Green
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and signs of condensation in the roof space, on flashings and valleys, new-build homes and ridges and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Cooper's Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Cooper's 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 ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Advice
Cooper's Green questions
Do you cover Cooper's Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Cooper's Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Cooper's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.

Cooper's Green homes and their roofs
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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. 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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For landlords with property near Buxted station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
