Nutbourne questions
Will you come out to Nutbourne?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Nutbourne is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
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 roof space is looked at where there is safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Nutbourne
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 work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. If you’re worried about cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Nutbourne are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

What to let us know when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Nutbourne 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Common roof problems in Nutbourne
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Common reasons to book include:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
Landlords with a home close to Nutbourne station may find that it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What insurance they carry
Different roofs, different checks
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point, so we check them closely.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the new roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

Useful tips for Nutbourne property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Buying a home or a new roof in Nutbourne
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Nutbourne, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Wilfrid's Church and Hall, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Warblington Castle lies about 3.6 miles west, so building around Nutbourne goes back a long way. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
