Our roof survey service in BN13
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Prices in BN13
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Roof surveys across BN13: local notes
Across BN13, a good many older houses still have chimney stacks, used or not, and the lead and mortar around them need watching. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and BN13 is well within that. We survey on any day of the week. Parts of BN13 are coastal, so wind can decide whether a drone flies or a roof can be reached safely. If conditions are not right, the visit moves to a calmer day.
Worthing: Trees in and around Durrington Minature Railway shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. With Ecclesden Manor about 3.1 miles west, the area around Worthing has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
Landlord and commercial surveys in BN13
Letting agents and landlords in BN13 book surveys as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Prices for roof surveys in BN13
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Questions from BN13
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Report times depend on the package.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
