New roof snagging in Snow Hill
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We are often asked to look into underlay not dressed into the gutter and gaps at new flashings, on loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Snow Hill are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Prices for new roof snagging in Snow Hill
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
We’ll usually ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
What new roof snagging looks like in Snow Hill
Saint Hill Manor, about 3.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Snow Hill. 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Snow Hill, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us where we can park nearby

What happens if roof problems are left?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps things factual. Outbuildings and barns around Snow Hill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
