How new roof snagging works in Strettington
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen including from the loft and the roof where it’s safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you are worried about underlay not dressed into the gutter and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges alike.
Being in a small place like Strettington makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked on weekdays and at weekends.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Roof by roof
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed and get a careful look.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Somewhere like Strettington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

What we are asked to look at in Strettington
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
The streets around a church such as St Andrew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

New roof snagging around Strettington
Historic houses such as Goodwood House, about 0.9 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Strettington goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Landlords with a home close to Chichester station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
