Leave it or get it looked at?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Pell Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

New roof snagging in Pell Green
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. Common reasons to book are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and broken coverings left on a new roof, on replacement roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges.
Being in a small place like Pell Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed ahead of time. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Pell Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

How do I find out if my home in Pell Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.

New roof snagging in Pell Green: local notes
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Pell Green has a long history of building, with Wadhurst Castle about 0.9 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Rehoboth Chapel, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
