Local roofs and buyers in Marsh Green
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Marsh Green, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. 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 Marsh Green has a long history of building, with Mottistone Manor about 1.5 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to St. Mary's Church: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

How new roof snagging works in Marsh Green
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We’re often asked to look into gaps at new flashings and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, across new flat roofs, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Some older homes in villages like Marsh Green 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Marsh Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Marsh Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Marsh Green?
Yes, Marsh Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Marsh Green?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
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, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will give you an idea when booking.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Marsh Green
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. In a place like Marsh Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

What else we do in Marsh Green
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Marsh Green, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away
