Your questions about new roof snagging in Rusher's Cross
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rusher's Cross?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Rusher's Cross within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Rusher's Cross?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How new roof snagging works in Rusher's Cross
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey loft conversions and dormers, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and poorly finished verges.
For a small place like Rusher's Cross, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
New roof snagging in Rusher's Cross: local notes
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. 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. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Rusher's Cross has a long history of building, with Wadhurst Castle about 2.6 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Wadhurst station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

What we do, step by step
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. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a hamlet or village like Rusher's Cross, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey

Useful tips for Rusher's Cross property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
