About our new roof snagging in Tower Hill
We carry out new roof snagging in Tower Hill and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work.
Somewhere as small as Tower Hill, 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, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Tower Hill
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Tower Hill, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- We look at 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 is visible.
- The loft space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

New roof snagging around Tower Hill
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 check with the council. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Christs Hospital station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

When to book a survey in Tower Hill
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
