What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The size of the roof
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you contact us
We will typically ask about:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How a roof survey works in Broomer's Corner
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. Typical surveys look at ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and debris building up in roof valleys, across flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space.
Somewhere as small as Broomer's Corner, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Broomer's Corner, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Questions from Broomer's Corner
Is Broomer's Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Broomer's Corner is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Local roofs in Broomer's Corner
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. 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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Mission Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as William Penn School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Useful tips for Broomer's Corner property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
