Common questions in South Mundham
Do you cover smaller places like South Mundham?
Yes, South Mundham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Mundham?
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.
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.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

How new roof snagging works in South Mundham
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. Roof snags often show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings, where the detailing is hardest. We check everything we can see safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and underlay at the eaves left exposed.
Older buildings in small places like South Mundham may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Legal advice on your contract
- How the roof will perform for years to come
- What’s under the new coverings
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
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.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos. On timing, it typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like South Mundham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Buying a home or a new roof in South Mundham
The coast is about 2 miles or less from South Mundham, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, so exposed details get a careful look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Stephen are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
