New roof snagging in Stonegate: what you get
Our snagging inspections cover Stonegate and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and untidy or loose verge details, across replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
Older buildings in small places like Stonegate 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. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s 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.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Stonegate
Raising snags before the final payment is normally simpler. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. In a place like Stonegate, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Somewhere as small as Stonegate, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
How to book

Buying a home or a new roof in Stonegate
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses such as Wadhurst Castle, about 3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Stonegate goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Stonegate station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?

Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we check everything we can see safely.
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 gives time for any snags to be put right.
