About our new roof snagging in Sellindge
Our snagging inspections cover Sellindge and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We inspect as far as it is safe to see, and by drone where it is applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about underlay ending short at the eaves and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Sellindge makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Keep paperwork for the new roof together. Add the snagging report to it.
What we cannot see
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:

Sellindge: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Sellindge is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Sellindge, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is Sellindge in your area?
Yes. Sellindge is part of the area we cover.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Buying a home or a new roof in Sellindge
Sellindge is within about 4 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. With Westenhanger Castle about 1.4 miles south-east, Sellindge sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Why act early in Sellindge
