New roof snagging in Stunts Green: what you get
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Stunts Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere as small as Stunts Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive

Stunts Green: your questions answered
Is Stunts Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stunts Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Stunts Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What does a new roof inspection include?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.

When to book a survey in Stunts Green
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
Whatever the street in Stunts Green, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- When you’ll get the report
- What the survey won’t cover
- Their track record with similar roofs
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles that don’t sit flat can let rain in. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. They’re recorded with photos.
Why get it checked now?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. A snagging report gives you something specific to raise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stunts Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Historic houses such as Horselunges Manor, about 2.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Stunts Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
