New roof snagging in Warminghurst: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and ridges and verges, and people most frequently book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered.
Somewhere as small as Warminghurst, 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. Whether you are 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 records the new roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What new roof snagging looks like in Warminghurst
Parham House, about 3.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warminghurst. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Sepulchre: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Warminghurst often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room

Do you cover smaller places like Warminghurst?

Is Warminghurst in the area you cover?

What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What does a new roof inspection include?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Common roof problems in Warminghurst
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Look out for signs like these:
- Poorly finished verges
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
