New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Muddles Green
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. 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 untidy or loose verge details and damage to other parts of the building, across ridges and verges, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
Somewhere as small as Muddles Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need new roof snagging in Muddles Green?
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Muddles Green: your questions answered

We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Muddles Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Muddles Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Buying a home or a new roof in Muddles Green
Historic houses such as Horselunges Manor, about 2.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Muddles Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Landlords with a home close to Berwick (Sussex) station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
