About our roof survey in Coggins Mill
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
In a village or hamlet like Coggins Mill, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Coggins Mill, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Coggins Mill questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wadhurst station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you cover smaller places like Coggins Mill?
Yes, Coggins Mill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Coggins Mill
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
What a roof survey does not cover
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

What a roof survey looks like in Coggins Mill
In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own a rental within reach of Wadhurst station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Dunstan, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Wadhurst Castle lies about 3.5 miles north-east, so building around Coggins Mill goes back a long way. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
