New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Plummers Plain
We carry out new roof snagging in Plummers Plain and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about damage to other parts of the building and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Plummers Plain, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Plummers Plain questions
Is my home in Plummers Plain 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.
Will you come out to Plummers Plain?
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 as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Plummers Plain can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Plummers Plain homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses such as Tyes Place, about 2.9 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Plummers Plain goes. 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.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
