The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the flat roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Lullington often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it is safe to do so.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lullington
Flat roofs deal with rain in a very different way from pitched ones. Water lies on the surface for longer, so a small split or a blocked outlet can soon lead to a leak. The surface, the falls, the upstands and the trims are all looked at closely, and we note any sign that the deck below has got wet. The aim is to find problems before they show up as a stain on a ceiling. Typical surveys look at failed seals around rooflight kerbs and pools of water lying on the roof, across mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and GRP fibreglass.
Somewhere as small as Lullington, 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. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Lullington?
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Leaks around rooflights
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Alfriston School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Before booking any roof surveyor

Surveys for landlords and agents in Lullington
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

FAQs for Lullington
How do I find out if my home in Lullington is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Lullington?
Yes, Lullington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A small split in a flat roof is normally a modest job when it is found early. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. A survey now shows which you are dealing with. For older village homes like those around Lullington, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Local flat roofs in Lullington
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Lullington, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. Historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House, about 0.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Lullington goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. The streets around a church such as Church of St. Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
