New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Rose Hill
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a report with photos to share with your roofer. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Rose Hill 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 is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
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 isn’t.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Rose Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

New roof snagging around Rose Hill
About 3.4 miles south lies Glyndebourne, a reminder of how long the area around Rose Hill has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Rose Hill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rose Hill?
Yes, Rose Hill is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Rose Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
