New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Felbridge
We carry out new roof snagging in Felbridge and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Felbridge, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Look for new stains after a downpour
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. For an older or listed building in a place like Felbridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Felbridge questions
Will you come out to Felbridge?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Felbridge?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is checked where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
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. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Felbridge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
