Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Angmering-on-Sea
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. We are often asked to look into edge trims that have lifted or split and splits, cracks and crazing, across EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and single-ply membranes.
In a village or hamlet like Angmering-on-Sea, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: 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 when you book.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Common questions in Angmering-on-Sea
Do you cover smaller places like Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Angmering-on-Sea is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
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 inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How we price flat roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
For a price for your roof in Angmering-on-Sea, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
How the survey changes by roof type
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
Felt and built-up roofs
On felt, the upstands and edge details often fail before the main surface. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.
What happens if roof problems are left?
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. Outbuildings and barns around Angmering-on-Sea are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Angmering-on-Sea, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before booking.

Local flat roofs in Angmering-on-Sea
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Angmering-on-Sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. With Ecclesden Manor about 1.7 miles north, Angmering-on-Sea sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. Take a building like East Preston Infant School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you own a rental within reach of Angmering station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
