New roof snagging in North Mundham: local notes
North Mundham is within about 3 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Chichester station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. With Goodwood House about 4 miles north, the area around North Mundham has a long history. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later.

New roof snagging in North Mundham: what you get
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. Typical surveys look at underlay ending short at the eaves and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, across replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.
Being in a small place like North Mundham makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Rural addresses near North Mundham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Why act early in North Mundham

- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Stephen: the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

FAQs for North Mundham
How do I find out if my home in North Mundham is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to North Mundham?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
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 is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Details hidden from sight
- Legal advice on your contract
- How the roof will perform for years to come
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for North Mundham property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Keep the contract and invoices together
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
