Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That’s why we look at them closely.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broadbridge Heath
We survey roofs in Broadbridge Heath and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’re frequently asked to look into leaning or weathered chimney stacks and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, on natural slate, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Broadbridge Heath drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Broadbridge Heath
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a survey in Broadbridge Heath, 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.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Roof surveys in Broadbridge Heath: local notes
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. John's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building like Shelley Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Trees in and around Farlington Strood Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- File the report with your home documents
We email the report to you. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
