Your questions about flat roof surveys in Stunts Green
How do I find out if my home in Stunts Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stunts Green?
Yes, Stunts Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Stunts Green as anywhere else.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
There’s no honest way to give an exact number of years. As a guide, felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but your report describes the actual condition.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. It is a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Flat roof survey in Stunts Green: what you get
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. If you’ve noticed outlets choked with leaves and silt and upstands pulling away from walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Stunts Green 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. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Useful tips for Stunts Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Note the date and type of any roof work
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
What a flat roof survey looks like in Stunts Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Horselunges Manor, about 2.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stunts Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Stunts Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Where there is safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- You get a written report with photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Why it is worth a survey now in Stunts Green
A small split in a flat roof is usually 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 an older or listed building in a place like Stunts Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Stunts Green?
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. It typically comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Look out for signs like these:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Cracked or split membrane
- A sagging deck under the covering
Take a building like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will the report include photos?
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply PVC and TPO membranes are common on commercial roofs and newer buildings. The survey looks at welded seams, edges, fixings and signs of damage.
GRP fibreglass
Movement in the deck or a thin layer of resin can lead to cracks in GRP. We record any cracking and any signs of the deck moving.
