New roof snagging in Elsted Marsh
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Common reasons to book are gaps at new flashings and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, across new-build homes, replacement roofs and ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Elsted Marsh may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Elsted Marsh, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What we can’t see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- What’s under the new coverings
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

When to book a survey in Elsted Marsh
Owners frequently get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Take an older house close to St George's Church: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
What to check before booking

- How long the report takes to arrive
