New roof snagging in Lambs Green
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, new flat roofs and new-build homes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are verge tiles or slates not secured and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
Older buildings in small places like Lambs Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Common questions in Lambs Green
Will you come out to Lambs Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Lambs Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are checked closely.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Lambs Green
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Outbuildings and barns around Lambs Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Buying a home or a new roof in Lambs Green
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. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you let a flat or house near Faygate station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary Magdalene church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a village or hamlet like Lambs Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
