New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Kingsfold
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a report with photographs to share with your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are tiles or slates sitting out of line and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Kingsfold are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common roof problems in Kingsfold
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you let a flat or house near Warnham station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
When you need someone else

What new roof snagging looks like in Kingsfold
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For any home in Kingsfold, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere like Kingsfold needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves to carry water off. We look at it where it can be seen.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Kingsfold
How do I find out if my home in Kingsfold is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Kingsfold?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I book a survey in Kingsfold?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
