About our roof survey in Angmering

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, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. Typical surveys look at cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and natural slate.

In a smaller place like Angmering, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.

Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Angmering

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

Useful tips for Angmering property owners

There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:

  • Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
  • Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
  • Take photos of any leaks as they happen
  • Check the roof from the ground after storms

Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.

Keep the loft space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.

Why get it checked now?

Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. With lower homes, common in places like Angmering, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.

Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Why book with us

  • Independent findings on the roof’s condition
  • Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • Satisfaction rate of 98%
  • 5,000+ roofs surveyed

Angmering: your questions answered

Is my home in Angmering listed or in a conservation area?

We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Will you come out to Angmering?

We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

Do you go up on the roof?

When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.

What if it rains on the day?

Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.

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.

Do you look in the loft space?

Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Will the report say how many years my roof has left?

We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.

How we price roof surveys

Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:

  • The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
  • Height and safe access
  • Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
  • How big the roof is

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

What to let us know when you contact us

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:

  • Where water is showing inside, if it is
  • When you need the report by
  • Anything about access we should know
  • What’s prompted the survey

To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.

Roof surveys in Angmering: local notes

Angmering is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.

For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Margaret, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Angmering station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Homes near green spaces like Clapham Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Angmering is about 4 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Wherever you are in Angmering, we can come and survey your property. Angmering is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Brighton is in our area too.

How it works

Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a survey in Angmering, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.

  1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
  2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
  3. We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
  4. We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
  5. We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.

Before we arrive

  • Leave a clear route to the loft
  • For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
  • Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Booking a survey

A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Different roofs, different checks

Lead flashings and valleys

Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.

Chimney stacks

We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
