Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Burwash Weald
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey lead flashings, chimney stacks and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.
In a small place like Burwash Weald, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Burwash Weald
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Bateman's, about 0.9 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Burwash Weald goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you live in an older home near St Philip's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Stonegate station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Your questions about roof surveys in Burwash Weald
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Stonegate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Burwash Weald listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Burwash Weald
Landlords and letting agents in Burwash Weald book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Honest limits
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- File the report with your home documents
- Photograph stains when they appear
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
