Roof Survey in Angmering-on-Sea
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Angmering-on-Sea, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
About our roof survey in Angmering-on-Sea
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages frequently have flat roofs. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof typically wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a close look. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. Typical surveys look at leaning or weathered chimney stacks and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, across chimney stacks, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles.
In a small place like Angmering-on-Sea, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. For an older or listed building in a place like Angmering-on-Sea, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
