New roof snagging in Maynard's Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. We survey ridges and verges, new-build homes and new flat roofs, and people most often book us about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and loose or badly finished ridge tiles.
Being in a small place like Maynard's Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Maynard's Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What affects the price in Maynard's Green
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
- Which survey package you book
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Common questions in Maynard's Green
Is Maynard's Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Maynard's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Maynard's Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is looked at where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Maynard's Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Maynard's Green homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. With Horselunges Manor about 4.2 miles south, Maynard's Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Christ Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
