Our roof survey service in TN20
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and valley linings that have cracked or split, on clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and the roof space.
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across TN20
Older homes across TN20 often keep chimney stacks long after the fires went out, and their flashings and pointing need checking like any other part of the roof. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
From inner London terraces to Kent oast houses, Sussex tile-hanging and Hampshire thatch, the South East has a huge mix of roofs. Roofs in TN20 are part of that picture.
Mayfield: Wadhurst Castle lies about 4.3 miles north-east, so building around Mayfield goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you look after a building such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
What affects the price in TN20

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. We note any lean or loose pots.
Questions from TN20
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you cover TN20 for roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs in TN20 and the rest of East Sussex. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
