What we are asked to look at in Jarvis Brook
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are often where things go wrong, especially when the weather is against them.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Gaps at new flashings
If you live in an older home near St Michael & All Angels, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
New roof snagging in Jarvis Brook: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Jarvis Brook and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Jarvis Brook, 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. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

FAQs for Jarvis Brook
Do you cover smaller places like Jarvis Brook?
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 as you book.
Is Jarvis Brook in the area you cover?
Yes, Jarvis Brook is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
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 look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
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.
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Jarvis Brook, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

What new roof snagging looks like in Jarvis Brook
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses like Groombridge Place, about 4.7 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Jarvis Brook goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. For older village homes like those around Jarvis Brook, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
