FAQs for Crockerhill
Do you cover smaller places like Crockerhill?
Yes. Crockerhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Crockerhill is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can every flat roof be tested?
That depends on the roof’s membrane and layers. Tell us what you know about the roof and we’ll confirm suitability.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.

Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.

Electronic leak detection in Crockerhill: what you get
Our ELD testing covers flat roofs in Crockerhill and the rest of London and South East England. Testing usually takes as long as needed for the roof’s area and construction, and we’ll give you a guide when quoting. Every roof is quoted on its size and build-up. The results come in a written report with photos. We are frequently asked to look into stains far from any visible defect and leaks under green or ballasted roofs, on single-ply roofs, roof terraces and balconies and green roofs.
Somewhere as small as Crockerhill, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof membrane, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Around Crockerhill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.

Green and ballasted roofs
Roofs with planting or ballast hide the membrane. Testing may still be possible, depending on the build-up.
Bituminous membranes
ELD is often possible on bituminous membranes though the layers below matter.
Tips that help
Getting the most from electronic leak detection starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Act on new leaks promptly
- Record dates and spots where water appears
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Find the breach before more patching
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Clear flat roof outlets regularly. Water that sits on the roof finds breaches faster.
Local flat roofs in Crockerhill
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Goodwood House about 2.6 miles north-west, Crockerhill sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tangmere Primary Academy, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Landlords with a home close to Barnham station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Prices for electronic leak detection in Crockerhill
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone

To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
