Roof survey in Goose Green, West Sussex
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Goose Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Goose Green, 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Goose Green
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. Common reasons to book are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, on lead flashings, flat roofs and natural slate.
Somewhere as small as Goose Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common roof problems in Goose Green
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before you book anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether VAT is added on top

The wider area around Goose Green has a long history of building, with Parham House about 4.5 miles south-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Rydon Community College will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Questions from Goose Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Goose Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long does a roof survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
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 booking.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting 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.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Prices for roof surveys in Goose Green
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Keep the report with your property records
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
