New roof snagging in Saint Hill Green: what you get
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at offcuts and broken tiles left behind and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, on loft conversions and dormers, replacement roofs and new flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Saint Hill Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

New roof snagging around Saint Hill Green
With Saint Hill Manor about 0.1 miles north-west, Saint Hill Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you own a rental within reach of East Grinstead station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Saint Hill Green: your questions answered
Is Saint Hill Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Saint Hill Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Saint Hill Green as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Saint Hill Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Saint Hill Green
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others just want an independent check before paying before signing off the job.
We are often asked to look at:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
If you live in an older home near St. Barnabas Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Their insurance cover
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Useful tips for Saint Hill Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
