New Roof Snagging in Tile Hurst
New roof snagging in Tile Hurst from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In a small place like Tile Hurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What you get with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- More than 5,000 surveys completed

New roof snagging in Tile Hurst: what you get
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’ve noticed gutters blocked by building debris and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Tile Hurst, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Do you need new roof snagging in Tile Hurst?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
Problems we come across often include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Take an older house close to Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Questions from Tile Hurst
Is Tile Hurst within the area you cover?
Yes, Tile Hurst is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Tile Hurst listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Tile Hurst
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Around Tile Hurst, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- 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 written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

New roof snagging in Tile Hurst: local notes
With Michelham Priory about 1.1 miles south-west, Tile Hurst sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
