New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Mountfield
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are verge tiles or slates not secured and tiles or slates sitting out of line, across new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Mountfield may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Mountfield: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mountfield?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Mountfield is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Mountfield within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
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. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What we cannot see
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Repair costs for putting snags right

What new roof snagging looks like in Mountfield
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 2 miles east lies Durhamford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Mountfield has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Robertsbridge station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How we price new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. For an older or listed building in a place like Mountfield, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Mountfield, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
