About our new roof snagging in Storrington
Homeowners book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. You then get a written report with photos to share with your roofer. If you’ve noticed underlay not dressed into the gutter and verge tiles or slates not secured, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Storrington, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, from older cottages to more recent builds. In older homes, the slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens and underlay holding them. Whether you’re buying or have just had the roof replaced, that hidden layer is worth knowing about. Older roofs frequently have bitumen felt under the coverings, as breathable membranes only arrived in the late 1990s.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Storrington: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Storrington is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Storrington?
Yes, Storrington is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Storrington as anywhere else.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It usually takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Ideally before you make the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder and our report gives you an independent record.
How do I book a survey in Storrington?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What new roof snagging looks like in Storrington
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Parham House about 2 miles west, Storrington sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

What we’re asked to look at in Storrington
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Damage to other parts of the building
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Roof by roof
Valleys
A valley takes water from two slopes, so the detailing matters. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Flashings
Flashings around chimney stacks are a common weak point and are checked closely.

What else we do in Storrington
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a smaller place like Storrington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
