Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. For an older or listed building in a place like Trolliloes, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

New roof snagging in Trolliloes
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’re worried about gaps at new flashings and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, we can find out what’s behind it.
Being in a small place like Trolliloes makes no difference to the inspection itself: the journey, parking and access are simply agreed in advance. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Visits can be booked seven days a week.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Buying a home or a new roof in Trolliloes
Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. About 3.7 miles south-west lies Horselunges Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Trolliloes has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Trolliloes can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Your questions about new roof snagging in Trolliloes
Do you cover Trolliloes?
Yes, Trolliloes is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Trolliloes within the area you cover?
Yes, Trolliloes is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
When to book a survey in Trolliloes
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Common reasons to book include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gaps at new flashings
- Damage to other parts of the building
Whatever the street in Trolliloes, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
