Twineham New Roof Snagging
Get a clear view of the new roof at a property in Twineham from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How new roof snagging works in Twineham
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible, and we check the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photographs. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. Common reasons to book are missing or blocked roof ventilation and gaps at new flashings, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Twineham are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it is worth knowing which applies. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

New roof snagging around Twineham
Historic houses such as Ockenden Manor, about 4.1 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Twineham goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What affects the price in Twineham
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
We’ll usually ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a hamlet or village like Twineham, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.

FAQs for Twineham
How do I find out if my home in Twineham is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Twineham in the area you cover?
Yes, Twineham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
You receive a written report with photos of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Put the warranty or defects period end date in your diary. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.

What we’re asked to look at in Twineham
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the roof space.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If you own a rental within reach of Burgess Hill station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
