About our roof survey in Ingrams Green
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey natural slate, flat roofs and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
In a small place like Ingrams Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we can’t see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- A full building survey of the property
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Ingrams Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Why it is worth a survey now in Ingrams Green
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ingrams Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Ingrams Green questions
Is Ingrams Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Ingrams Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Ingrams Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ingrams Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How long does the visit take?
It usually takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Report times depend on the package.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What a roof survey looks like in Ingrams Green
Historic houses such as Cowdray House, about 3.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Ingrams Green 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For any home in Ingrams Green, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
