New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Goose Green
A new roof is a big spend, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. Common reasons to book are cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Somewhere as small as Goose Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Common questions in Goose Green
Is my home in Goose Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Goose Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
New roof snagging in Goose Green: local notes
The wider area around Goose Green has a long history of building, with Parham House about 4.5 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Why it is worth a survey now in Goose Green
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. For an older or listed building in a place like Goose Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Keep the contract and invoices together
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
