New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Grove Hill
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay not dressed into the gutter.
Some older homes in villages like Grove Hill are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

What else we do in Grove Hill
New roof snagging around Grove Hill
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, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Horselunges Manor, about 1.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Grove Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.

Roof by roof

We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
When to book a survey in Grove Hill
Many people book because something doesn’t look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
In and around Grove Hill, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will the report include photos?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Grove Hill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Grove Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Grove Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Grove Hill?
Yes, Grove Hill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Details hidden from sight
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
