Our roof survey service in BN22
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings.
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
What you’ll pay
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

What’s near Hampden Park
In Hampden Park, that means homes and buildings near Princes Park, Heron Park Primary Academy and The Eastbourne Academy. There’s a railway station in Hampden Park itself: Hampden Park station. Well-known places in the area include Royal Sussex Regimental Museum (1.8 miles south-east) and Pevensey Castle (2.9 miles north-east). Not far away are Combe Hill.
Roof surveys across BN22: local notes
Across BN22, plenty of older houses still have chimney stacks, used or not, and their flashings and pointing need checking like any other part of the roof. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
London and South East England mix slate and clay tile roofs on older homes with concrete tiles on many later ones, and flat-roofed extensions and dormers are common everywhere. That variety shapes every survey in BN22. Coastal parts of BN22 can be windy, which matters for drone flights, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Roofs there also face driving rain and salt air.
Hampden Park: If you look after a building such as Heron Park Primary Academy, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Hampden Park station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Useful tips for BN22 property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- File the report with your home documents
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry.
Before you book any surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What the survey won’t cover
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
Surveys for landlords and agents in BN22
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.
BN22: your questions answered
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Do you cover BN22 for roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, BN22 included.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
