About our new roof snagging in Wellbrook
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and gutters blocked by building debris.
Being in a small place like Wellbrook makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when booking. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Buying a home or a new roof in Wellbrook
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. 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’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Crowborough station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Dunstan, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Wellbrook is about 4 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Whether the building in Wellbrook is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Wellbrook is one of the towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Crawley is in our area too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Broken slates left on a new roof are a common snag. We record any we can see.
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. Leftover debris is recorded.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a small place like Wellbrook, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you let us know 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 checked.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Related advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Why act early in Wellbrook
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. For an older or listed building in a place like Wellbrook, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Common questions in Wellbrook
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wellbrook?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wellbrook as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Wellbrook?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Legal advice on your contract
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- Details hidden from sight

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
