New roof snagging in Nutbourne: what you get
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and replacement roofs alike.
For a small place like Nutbourne, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Why it is worth a survey now in Nutbourne
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. In a small place like Nutbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

FAQs for Nutbourne
Do you cover Nutbourne?

What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it can be seen.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Nutbourne, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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 checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What we are asked to look at in Nutbourne
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gutters blocked by building debris
The streets around a church like St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Nutbourne homes and their roofs
The wider area around Nutbourne has a long history of building, with Old Place Manor about 1.8 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
