How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Rushlake Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

How new roof snagging works in Rushlake Green
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and vents that weren’t fitted or are covered, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Rushlake Green, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings frequently sit beside a few newer homes. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Each covering has its own weak points, whether the roof is old or newly laid, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Rushlake Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Rushlake Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Rushlake Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Rushlake Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.

Why get it checked now?
It is easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. After the final payment it can be harder to get them back. Our report lists what to raise. For older village homes like those around Rushlake Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Rushlake Green. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we’re asked to look at in Rushlake Green
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.

About 4.2 miles north-east lies Bateman's, a reminder of how long the area around Rushlake Green 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.

Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses.
