FAQs for Goose Green
How do I find out if my home in Goose Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Landlord roof survey in Goose Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’re worried about gutters overflowing onto walls and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Goose Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Goose Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Goose Green?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Standing water on a flat roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Rydon Community College, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book anyone
- What exactly goes into their report
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Goose Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Landlord roof surveys in Goose Green: local notes
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 4.5 miles south-west lies Parham House, a reminder of how long the area around Goose Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
