New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Tinsley Green
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. Roof snags frequently show at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. We’re frequently asked to look into verge tiles or slates not secured and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on replacement roofs, new flat roofs and new-build homes.
In a village or hamlet like Tinsley Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
How we price new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The size of the roof
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
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 it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Tinsley Green questions
Do you cover Tinsley Green?
Yes, Tinsley Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you come out to Tinsley Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Tinsley Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Different roofs, different checks
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.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a close look.
New roof snagging in Tinsley Green: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Michael and All Angels Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Gatwick Airport station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
