New roof snagging in Rowfant
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you are worried about missing or blocked roof ventilation and underlay not dressed into the gutter, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Rowfant may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older roofs in small places like Rowfant can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
FAQs for Rowfant
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rowfant?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Rowfant?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. We look in the loft where it is safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
Prices for new roof snagging in Rowfant
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
Ridges, verges and valleys are looked at closely on new slate roofs from safe vantage points.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
New roof snagging around Rowfant
About 2.7 miles south-east lies Gravetye Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Rowfant has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to All Saints Parish Church: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
