New Roof Snagging in North Crawley
We take a careful look at the new roof at your property in North Crawley, with photos and a written report.
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are looked at where visible.
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
How new roof snagging works in North Crawley
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. We survey ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about poorly finished verges and offcuts and broken tiles left behind.
In a village or hamlet like North Crawley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

When to book a survey in North Crawley
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Look out for signs like these:
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gaps at new flashings
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Firmin, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?

How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around North Crawley can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.

Yes, North Crawley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in North Crawley as anywhere else.
What does a new roof inspection include?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
