Our roof survey service in BN24
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them frequently give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Common reasons to book are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and cracked mortar along the ridge, on lead flashings, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles.
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Prices in BN24
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Homes and roofs across BN24
BN24 has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Blocked gutters, slipped slates and tired flashings turn up on all of them sooner or later.
We survey roofs across London and South East England, and BN24 is part of that. London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Coastal towns and villages in BN24 see more salt and wind than places inland. After a storm, the seaward side of a roof is the place to look first.
Stone Cross: Michelham Priory, about 4.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stone Cross. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
What affects the price in BN24
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Anything about access we should know
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
For a price for roof surveys in BN24, call 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us price the survey accurately.
Common roof problems in BN24
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
What a survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
