How a roof survey works in Lullington
Our roof surveys cover Lullington and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on natural slate, flat roofs and the roof space alike.
Some older homes in villages like Lullington are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What else we do in Lullington
Why get it checked now?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is frequently been getting in for a while. 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 Lullington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lullington
Lullington lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House, about 0.3 miles north-west, show how far back building around Lullington goes. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Andrew, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- File the report with your home documents
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
