New roof snagging around Gossops Green
Gossops Green is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Whether you are buying or replacing a roof, low pitches and flat-roofed additions deserve a careful look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you own a rental within reach of Ifield station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. The streets around a church like St Peter's are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Gossops Green is about 1 mile west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Roofs in Gossops Green get the same thorough look as anywhere else in West Sussex. Gossops Green is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex where we work for new roof snagging.

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Gossops Green
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Common reasons to book are underlay not dressed into the gutter and tiles or slates sitting out of line, across new-build homes, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers.
Smaller places like Gossops Green often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. 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 Gossops Green. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check the roof before you pay in full
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there’s a dispute, it’s between you and your roofer or builder, and our part is to report what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Blocked gutters on homes around Gossops Green overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Gossops Green questions
My home in Gossops Green has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Normally, yes: let us know about it when booking so the visit can include it. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Crawley, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
Is my home in Gossops Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a survey in Gossops Green, 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property
