New roof snagging in Monk's Gate
We carry out new roof snagging in Monk's Gate and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photographs. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are gaps at new flashings and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, across replacement roofs, ridges and verges and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Monk's Gate, 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’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

New roof snagging in Monk's Gate: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
The streets around a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Horsham station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Monk's Gate, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Prices for new roof snagging in Monk's Gate
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Every price we give includes 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.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property

Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
