Flat Roof Survey in Wiggonholt
Find out what’s going on with the flat roof before you spend money on it. Flat roof surveys in Wiggonholt, with photos and a clear written report.
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Wiggonholt can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Where there’s safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Flat roof survey in Wiggonholt
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats frequently sit under large flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you’re worried about splits, cracks and crazing and water getting in at rooflights, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Wiggonholt take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Wiggonholt
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What a flat roof survey looks like in Wiggonholt
About 1.5 miles south lies Parham House, a reminder of how long the area around Wiggonholt has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wiggonholt Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. For landlords with property near Pulborough station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Useful tips for Wiggonholt property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Book a survey every few years
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. That catches changes early and builds up a record of the roof.
Questions from Wiggonholt
Is Wiggonholt within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wiggonholt?
Yes, Wiggonholt is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wiggonholt as anywhere else.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Ponding is worth looking into. It often 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. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes. A commercial roof typically takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it’s large or complex, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What we can’t see
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
