New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Shripney
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you are worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and tiles or slates sitting out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Shripney makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on any day of the week.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What affects the price in Shripney
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Getting in touch
We’ll usually ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage

Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Outbuildings and barns around Shripney are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Buying a home or a new roof in Shripney
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Shripney, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Holy Cross Church: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. If you own a rental within reach of Bognor Regis station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We survey roofs in Shripney and the rest of West Sussex, as part of our work across London and the South East. Shripney is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.

Questions from Shripney
Will you come out to Shripney?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shripney?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles where we can see them.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Rural addresses near Shripney can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- 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 photos.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
