Why it’s worth a survey now in Broomershill
Before you put a home on the market, it is useful to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. In a place like Broomershill, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.

How a roof survey works in Broomershill
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you are worried about ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Broomershill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

FAQs for Broomershill
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broomershill?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the loft space where there is safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
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. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Local roofs in Broomershill
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Historic houses like Old Place Manor, about 1 mile west, show how far back building around Broomershill goes. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Broomershill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.

How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
