Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Coneyhurst
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’re worried about gaps at upstands and abutments and water getting in at rooflights, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Coneyhurst may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Flat roof surveys around Coneyhurst
In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. About 4.8 miles south-west lies Old Place Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Coneyhurst has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Weald 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 Billingshurst station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Coneyhurst is about 6 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Coneyhurst can all book flat roof surveys. We cover towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We also survey roofs in Crawley.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A small split in a flat roof is normally a modest job when it’s found early. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. For an older or listed building in a place like Coneyhurst, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Coneyhurst
Is Coneyhurst within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Coneyhurst?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s in the report?
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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Single-ply membranes
- Upstands and outlets
- EPDM rubber
- Mastic asphalt
- GRP fibreglass
- Felt flat roofs
What we look for on each type of roof
Mastic asphalt
With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
GRP fibreglass
A GRP fibreglass roof is a hard, resin-bonded surface over a timber deck. The survey checks for cracking at board joints, at the edge trims and where the roof meets walls.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Coneyhurst. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Coneyhurst, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- 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.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
