Roof survey in Furner's Green: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and loose chimney pots.
Somewhere as small as Furner's Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why it is worth a survey now in Furner's Green
Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. In a small place like Furner's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us

Roof surveys around Furner's Green
Priest House, about 5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Furner's Green. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Trees in and around Sheffield Park Garden shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building such as Danehill Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Prices for roof surveys in Furner's Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.

How do I arrange a roof survey in Furner's Green?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
