New roof snagging in Ebernoe: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are verge tiles or slates not secured and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
Being in a small place like Ebernoe makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

FAQs for Ebernoe
How do I find out if my home in Ebernoe is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Ebernoe in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Ebernoe is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. The report belongs with them.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Ebernoe, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

New roof snagging around Ebernoe
The wider area around Ebernoe has a long history of building, with Petworth House about 3.7 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Ebernoe is about 13 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. From houses to flats and shops in Ebernoe, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Ebernoe is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

What we are asked to look at in Ebernoe
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from ground level and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Look out for signs like these:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
