Roof Survey in Bepton Common
Roof surveys in Bepton Common, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Debris building up in roof valleys
When to book a survey in Bepton Common
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Midhurst CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What experience they bring
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Roof survey in Bepton Common: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We are frequently asked to look into worn lead at chimneys and abutments and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, on clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Bepton Common may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What else we do in Bepton Common
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Bepton Common can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Older and listed buildings around Bepton Common may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

Common questions in Bepton Common
Is my home in Bepton Common listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bepton Common?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bepton Common as anywhere else.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
What a roof survey looks like in Bepton Common
Cowdray House, about 1.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bepton Common. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
