New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Street End
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. If you are worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Street End 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’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Street End, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How big the roof is
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:

- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Useful tips for Street End property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Diary the defects period end date
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.

Street End questions
Do you cover smaller places like Street End?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is the coastal weather around Street End hard on roofs?
It can do. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Street End is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. It’s worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Buying a home or a new roof in Street End
Street End lies within about 2 miles of the sea, 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Chichester station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so a new slate roof should be laid well. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
