New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Robertsbridge
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Common reasons to book are underlay ending short at the eaves and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, across new-build homes, new flat roofs and ridges and verges.
Somewhere as small as Robertsbridge, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, 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.
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.

Robertsbridge homes and their roofs
With Durhamford Manor about 3.8 miles south-east, Robertsbridge sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Robertsbridge station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. For an older house near a landmark like Robertsbridge United Reformed Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Robertsbridge, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
