New roof snagging in Toddington, West Sussex
New roof snagging around Toddington, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we look at them carefully.
About our new roof snagging in Toddington
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about signs of condensation in the roof space and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
In a smaller place like Toddington, some houses face open ground, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Loose ridge tiles, lifted coverings and tired flashings are the kind of things that show it. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are checked closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a smaller place like Toddington, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Surveys for landlords and agents in Toddington

New roof snagging around Toddington
Toddington lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, so exposed details get a careful look whether you’re buying or signing off new work. Ecclesden Manor, about 2.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Toddington. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Littlehampton station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near All Saints, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we check:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

FAQs for Toddington
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Toddington?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
How do I find out if my home in Toddington is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags for you to pass to your builder.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Legal advice on your contract
- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Pricing the remedial work
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Book snagging before the final payment
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
