New roof snagging in Hurst Green: what you get
We carry out new roof snagging in Hurst Green and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where applicable. A photo report follows. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and poorly finished verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Hurst Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. 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.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Hurst Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Hurst Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Hurst Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Hurst Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hurst Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
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.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Hurst Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hurst Green
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Older and listed buildings around Hurst Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Buying a home or a new roof in Hurst Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. About 2.3 miles north lies Titsey Place, a reminder of how long the area around Hurst Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like St Agatha's Hall, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
