- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.

Advice
How new roof snagging works in Potter's Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. We are often asked to look into damage to other parts of the building and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
Being in a small place like Potter's Green 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, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Common questions in Potter's Green
How do I find out if my home in Potter's Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Potter's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Potter's Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
New roof snagging around Potter's Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. For landlords with property near Buxted station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
