New Roof Snagging in Loxwood

- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
About our new roof snagging in Loxwood
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Loxwood, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings often show up on new roofs. They’re recorded with photos.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why get it checked now?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. In a small place like Loxwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Loxwood can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

FAQs for Loxwood
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Loxwood?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Loxwood in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Loxwood as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- What’s under the new coverings
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

Buying a home or a new roof in Loxwood
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
For an older house near a landmark like St John the Baptist, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Whatever the street in Loxwood, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
