About our new roof snagging in Nuthurst
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s 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 report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’re worried about damage to other parts of the building and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Nuthurst, the visit is planned like any other: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Nuthurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What else we do in Nuthurst
New roof snagging in Nuthurst: local notes
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Andrew, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Nuthurst is about 3 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. Surveys in Nuthurst work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Our West Sussex coverage includes Nuthurst and the places around it. Crawley is in our area too.

Do you need new roof snagging in Nuthurst?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If you let a flat or house near Horsham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

FAQs for Nuthurst
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nuthurst?
Yes, Nuthurst is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Nuthurst as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nuthurst?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely, including by drone where it’s applicable. Outbuildings and barns around Nuthurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Legal advice on your contract
