Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Older and listed buildings around Lambs Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

About our roof survey in Lambs 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. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and valley linings that have cracked or split, on natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
Older buildings in small places like Lambs Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Lambs Green
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or email us.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older rural homes like those around Lambs Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book

Advice
What a roof survey looks like in Lambs Green
Lambs Green is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Gatwick Airport. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take a building like Rusper Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Faygate station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Lambs Green is about 3 miles west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Wherever you are in Lambs Green, we can carry out roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. We cover towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages.
Here we cover the RH12 postcode area for roof surveys. We also cover Rusper (1 mile west), Ifieldwood (1 mile north-east), Bewbush (2 miles south-east), Ifield (2 miles east) and Russ Hill (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (3 miles east), Horsham (4 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (11 miles south-east), Burgess Hill (12 miles south-east), East Grinstead (11 miles east) and Broadfield (3 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Lambs Green
Around Lambs Green, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Ifield Community College. The nearest railway station is Faygate station, about 1.4 miles south. Nearby you will also find Crawley Museum (3.1 miles east) and Crawley Hospital (2.7 miles east). For a walk, there’s Warnham LNR and Tilgate Lake.
When to book a survey in Lambs Green
Some damage starts inside the roof space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary Magdalene church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What exactly goes into their report
- How long the report takes to arrive
Lambs Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Faygate station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Lambs Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How long does the visit take?
It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Report times depend on the package.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s emailed to you.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
