New Roof Snagging in Felcourt

- Gaps at new flashings

Why act early in Felcourt
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Felcourt, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

About our new roof snagging in Felcourt
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Somewhere as small as Felcourt, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What new roof snagging looks like in Felcourt
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 3.7 miles south lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Felcourt has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

What else we do in Felcourt
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Felcourt frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Advice
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
Do you need new roof snagging in Felcourt?
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Landlords with a home close to Dormans station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
