How new roof snagging works in Wisborough Green

A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect as far as it is safe to see including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We are often asked to look into verge tiles or slates not secured and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, on new-build homes, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
For a small place like Wisborough Green, the visit is planned like any other: 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Buying a home or a new roof in Wisborough Green
About 4.4 miles south lies Old Place Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wisborough Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Why it is worth a survey now in Wisborough Green
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In a place like Wisborough Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Common questions in Wisborough Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wisborough Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Wisborough Green in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Wisborough Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
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.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Loose ridge or hip tiles are a common snag. We photograph any we find.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys from safe vantage points.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Wisborough Green, access is usually 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, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.

- We send a written report you can pass on.
How to prepare

- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
