How a roof survey works in GU29
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and flashings that have come away from the wall.
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Roof surveys across GU29: local notes
In GU29, our roof surveys work takes in owners, landlords and managing agents, from Midhurst, Easebourne and Stedham to the quieter places in between. Every report comes with photographs and written recommendations.
Several airports in London and South East England have flight restriction zones around them, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any drone flight in GU29. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it’s given.
Midhurst: With Cowdray House about 0.6 miles north-east, the area around Midhurst has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. For an older house near a landmark such as Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is frequently nail fatigue, which we describe in the report.
Why act early?
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail.
Before booking any surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What the survey will not cover
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is added on top
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- A full building survey of the property
- A structural engineer’s report
Why roofs fail
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
What affects the price in GU29
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
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. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Questions from GU29
How do I book a survey in GU29?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
