New roof snagging in Warningcamp
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 is visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and signs of condensation in the roof space.
Being in a small place like Warningcamp 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 when booking, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Visits can be booked on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we check them closely.
Valleys
We check valley linings for splits and poor laps as far as safe access allows.
Common roof problems in Warningcamp
Many people book because something does not look right. Others just want an independent check before paying before the job is closed.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
With Ecclesden Manor about 2.8 miles south-east, the area around Warningcamp has a long history. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their drone registration, if they fly one

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we check:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Warningcamp can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Warningcamp: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Warningcamp?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is the coastal weather around Warningcamp hard on roofs?
Frequently, yes. Warningcamp is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings, but we look at everything we can see safely.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Why act early in Warningcamp
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. For older village homes like those around Warningcamp, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

New roof snagging around Warningcamp
Warningcamp lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Corroded clips and nails and lifted ridge pieces are typical of exposed roofs near the sea, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you let a flat or house near Arundel station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
