New roof snagging in Hollington, East Sussex
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Hollington? We carry out new roof snagging in Hollington and across East Sussex, with plain-English findings.
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Homes around Hollington often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hollington
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and new flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at new flashings and gutters blocked by building debris.
Around Hollington, you will mostly find houses and bungalows of different ages. Older roofs may still have their original slates or clay tiles, with fixings and underlay that have done a long stint. For a purchase or a newly replaced roof, what’s under the coverings matters as much as what’s on top. Breathable membranes only appeared in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt or nothing at all.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Questions from Hollington
Is Hollington within the area you cover?
Yes, Hollington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Hollington is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What we can’t see
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Legal advice on your contract

What else we do in Hollington
Hollington homes and their roofs
Hollington is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. About 4.8 miles north lies Durhamford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Hollington has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near St Leonards Warrior Square station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If you live in an older home near St Anne, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Hollington is about 1 mile north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. We carry out new roof snagging for homes and businesses in Hollington and the surrounding area. We cover towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. There is also a page for Maidstone.
New roof snagging in TN38, TN37 and TN34 are booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes and businesses on Kent Road, Duke Road and Ford Road. Hollington sits on or near the A21. Nearby, we also carry out new roof snagging in Silverhill (1 mile south-east), Hastings (1 mile south-east), Baldslow (1 mile north), St Helen's (1 mile east) and St Leonards (1 mile south).

Landlords, agents and block managers in Hollington
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 with less disruption.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. Arranging work in a smaller place like Hollington is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
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 that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- File all paperwork for the new roof
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
