Pre-purchase roof surveys for homes and businesses in Twineham Green
Older homes frequently have roofs that have been patched over the years. Corroded nails let slates slide, valley linings wear thin and chimney mortar erodes. Most of it can’t be seen from the street. We look closely and record what we see, with photos so you can see it for yourself. We explain each finding in plain English, so you know what it means for the house you’re buying. We survey chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and people most often book us about damp timbers or stains in the loft and cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing.
For a small place like Twineham Green, the visit is planned like any other: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings with roofs you want checked, mention them as you book. Buyers and owners of new roofs get the same approach as anywhere. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Buying a home or a new roof in Twineham Green
In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own a rental within reach of Burgess Hill station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Common questions in Twineham Green
Is my home in Twineham Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Twineham Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Twineham Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Do you need access inside the house?
Where we can, yes. From the roof space we can see staining, timbers and underlay. If access is not possible, we note it in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the inspection is done from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone inspection where it applies.
How do I arrange a pre-purchase roof survey in Twineham Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Twineham Green
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
For a price for pre-purchase roof surveys in Twineham Green, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The address, the type of property and what you want to find out help us give you an accurate price.
When to book a survey in Twineham Green
Buildings put up or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Cement roof sheets, soffits and flue pipes are typical places to find it. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys, but we flag materials that might so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before anything is disturbed.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing
- Gutters choked with leaves and moss
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
- Bitumen or mortar used in place of proper repairs
With Ockenden Manor about 3.8 miles north-east, the area around Twineham Green has a long history. Buying a period property here means asking about the roof’s age and repairs, and about any listing or conservation area.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What follow-up you get after the report
What happens if roof problems are left?
Without a survey, you are relying on a glance from the pavement. That will not show slipped slates on the rear slope, a worn valley or cracked flaunching. A survey fills that gap before you commit. For an older or listed building in a place like Twineham Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are 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.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. Around Twineham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You book once your offer is accepted and tell us the address and your timetable.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations, ready for you to use before exchange.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
