Roffey New Roof Snagging
Know where you stand with the new roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out new roof snagging in Roffey, with photos and a clear written report.
- Poorly finished verges
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
New roof snagging in Roffey
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we check how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you are worried about underlay ending short at the eaves and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Smaller places like Roffey often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, and many have been extended or had dormers added. Even on a low roof, dormers, valleys and flat-roofed additions need a careful look. That applies whether you are buying in Roffey or checking a new roof there. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Do you need new roof snagging in Roffey?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Damage to other parts of the building
For landlords with property near Littlehaven station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey will not cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What happens if roof problems are left?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Homes in smaller places like Roffey can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

What this survey cannot tell you

Roffey: your questions answered
Will you come out to Roffey?
Yes, Roffey is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Roffey listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Buying a home or a new roof in Roffey
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near All Saints Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a smaller place like Roffey, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
