Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ebernoe
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you’re worried about worn lead at chimneys and abutments and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Ebernoe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Ebernoe questions
Will you come out to Ebernoe?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Ebernoe is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: 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.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Ebernoe, 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 the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Roof surveys in Ebernoe: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Petworth House, about 3.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Ebernoe goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Ebernoe is about 13 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. We visit Ebernoe as part of our work across West Sussex, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ebernoe, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What we are asked to look at in Ebernoe
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
The streets around a church such as Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
