New roof snagging in Nash Street
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. We survey loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are broken coverings left on a new roof and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
Somewhere as small as Nash Street, 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. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

New roof snagging around Nash Street
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Horselunges Manor, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. 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 Berwick (Sussex) station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Nash Street
Flashings are a common source of snags. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in at the first heavy rain.
Problems we come across often include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gaps at new flashings
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
Take an older house close to The Parish Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

Nash Street questions
Is my home in Nash Street listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Nash Street?
Yes, Nash Street is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe and check for damage left by the job.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Nash Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What new roof snagging does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Pricing the remedial work
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
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.
