Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Felcourt
Our roof surveys cover Felcourt and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or email us. If you’re worried about slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate alike.
In a small place like Felcourt, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Felcourt homes and their roofs
About 3.7 miles south lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Felcourt has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Trees in and around Centenary Fields shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What else we do in Felcourt
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Felcourt can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Getting a price
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common roof problems in Felcourt
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
If you let a flat or house near Dormans station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

FAQs for Felcourt
Is my home in Felcourt listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Dormans station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Do you work in Felcourt?
Yes. Felcourt is part of the area we cover.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.

It usually takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords, agents and building managers in Felcourt and across West Sussex can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip, leaving gaps along the courses.
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.
Why act early in Felcourt
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. In a place like Felcourt, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
