New Roof Snagging in Redford
New roof snagging in Redford, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
Common roof problems in Redford
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Common reasons to book include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long the report takes to arrive
About our new roof snagging in Redford
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. If you’re worried about verge tiles or slates not secured and underlay at the eaves left exposed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Redford are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Redford: your questions answered
Do you cover Redford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Redford as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Redford?
Yes, Redford is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- Legal advice on your contract
- Repair costs for putting snags right
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Which survey package you book
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
For a price for new roof snagging in Redford, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Redford, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Redford
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Cowdray House, about 3.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Redford. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
