About our roof survey in Coneyhurst
We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar along the ridge and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, on the roof space, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Coneyhurst, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently 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. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

When to book a survey in Coneyhurst
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Loose chimney pots
- Standing water on a flat roof
With Old Place Manor about 4.8 miles south-west, the area around Coneyhurst has a long history. 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.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What experience they bring
Landlord and commercial surveys in Coneyhurst
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Roof surveys in Coneyhurst: local notes
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung 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. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Weald School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Billingshurst station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Coneyhurst: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Billingshurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Is Coneyhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
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 chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.

What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Coneyhurst, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Related advice
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
