New roof snagging in Felpham, West Sussex
Not sure what state the new roof is in? We carry out new roof snagging in Felpham and across West Sussex.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Keep warranty papers safe
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
About our new roof snagging in Felpham
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. We are often asked to look into signs of condensation in the roof space and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new-build homes.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Felpham, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Low roofs are easier to see from ground level, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Felpham. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Felpham
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Felpham?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Do you cover smaller places like Felpham?
Yes. Felpham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can be seen safely.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly where they can be seen.
Local roofs and buyers in Felpham
Felpham is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For landlords with property near Bognor Regis station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a survey in Felpham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.

Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Felpham
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
What we are asked to look at in Felpham
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Poorly finished verges
- Gaps at new flashings
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What experience they bring
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
