New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Pease Pottage
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We are independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new-build homes, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Bungalows, chalet bungalows and older cottages are common in smaller places like Pease Pottage, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. That applies whether you’re buying in Pease Pottage or checking a new roof there. Lead around a dormer and the edges of a flat roof are common places for snags and wear alike.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What else we do in Pease Pottage
Buying a home or a new roof in Pease Pottage
Pease Pottage is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low pitches, ageing concrete tiles and old flat roofs each have their own weak points, worth knowing before you commit. With Tyes Place about 3.4 miles south, Pease Pottage sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Crawley station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

How the survey changes by roof type

Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs frequently have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
What affects the price in Pease Pottage
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:

- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What to let us know when you contact us
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
Common questions in Pease Pottage
Is Pease Pottage within the area you cover?
Yes, Pease Pottage is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Pease Pottage worth including?
It is frequently worth it, as these roofs are easy to forget. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Pease Pottage?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Blocked gutters on homes around Pease Pottage overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Pease Pottage, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- 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.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
