New roof snagging in Nutley
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you are worried about loose flashings at walls or chimneys and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Nutley makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Nutley, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:

Questions from Nutley
Is Nutley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Nutley listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
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’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Nutley
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the new roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Legal advice on your contract
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- New-build homes

Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. For older village homes like those around Nutley, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Nutley homes and their roofs
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to St James the Less: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Buxted station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
