How new roof snagging works in Jenkins' Green
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We’re often asked to look into gutters or fascias damaged during the job and underlay at the eaves left exposed, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Being in a small place like Jenkins' Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common questions in Jenkins' Green
Is Jenkins' Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Jenkins' Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is the coastal weather around Jenkins' Green hard on roofs?
It can do. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Jenkins' Green is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Jenkins' Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Local roofs and buyers in Jenkins' Green
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Jenkins' Green, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale. The wider area around Jenkins' Green has a long history of building, with Michelham Priory about 4.8 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Pevensey & Westham station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to St Luke's Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Jenkins' Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Jenkins' Green
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

- Replacement roofs

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- File all paperwork for the new roof
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
