About our new roof snagging in Moulsecoomb
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. If you’re worried about untidy or loose verge details and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, new flat roofs and ridges and verges alike.
Smaller places like Moulsecoomb frequently have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you’re buying in Moulsecoomb or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

New roof snagging in Moulsecoomb: local notes
Moulsecoomb is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a close look whether you are buying or signing off new work. With Preston Manor & Gardens about 1.8 miles west, Moulsecoomb sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to St. Andrew's: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Landlords with a home close to Moulsecoomb station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Moulsecoomb is about 1 mile north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We survey roofs in Moulsecoomb as part of our work across London and South East England. Our Brighton and Hove coverage includes Moulsecoomb.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Moulsecoomb, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Questions from Moulsecoomb
Is my home in Moulsecoomb listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
Is Moulsecoomb within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.

What else we do in Moulsecoomb
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a close look.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Why get it checked now?
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Arranging work in a smaller place like Moulsecoomb is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book us in Moulsecoomb
- PI and public liability insurance

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
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.
