Signs you need new roof snagging in Kilnwood Vale
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Landlords with a home close to Faygate station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Kilnwood Vale
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on in good time. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Kilnwood Vale makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight

- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.

Buying a home or a new roof in Kilnwood Vale
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Francis' Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
