New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Selham
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Somewhere as small as Selham, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. 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, which helps when we look at the roof.
Why act early in Selham
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. Around Selham, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
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’d like to know.

FAQs for Selham
Is Selham in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Selham is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Selham is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Selham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.

New roof snagging around Selham
About 2.7 miles west lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Selham has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
