Signs you need new roof snagging in Worthing
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you own a rental within reach of West Worthing station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

About our new roof snagging in Worthing
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and gutters blocked by building debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Worthing is big enough to have housing from every era, from older terraces and villas to post-war estates and recent developments. Older slate roofs, post-war concrete tiles and brand-new coverings each have their own typical faults. That is why the age and type of roof shape what the inspection concentrates on, for a purchase or a new roof alike.
If any part of the new roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Worthing: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Worthing?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
Is my home in Worthing listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
How do I book a survey in Worthing?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.

What else we do in Worthing
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
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 loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Visits in a place the size of Worthing range from flats and family homes to offices and blocks. Access is the part that changes most from one building to the next, so it is agreed before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
New roof snagging around Worthing
Worthing is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. About 3.1 miles west lies Ecclesden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Worthing has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Andrew's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
For a price for new roof snagging in Worthing, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Whatever the age of a roof in Worthing, small defects only grow if they’re left. What starts as a cracked flashing or a blocked outlet becomes wet timber and stained ceilings in time.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why us?

Useful tips for Worthing property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
