A roof condition survey for homes and buildings across Middleton-on-Sea, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Middleton-on-Sea, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
About our roof survey in Middleton-on-Sea
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it, on natural slate, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Middleton-on-Sea drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Stay off ladders and the roof
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Signs you need a roof survey in Middleton-on-Sea
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
Landlords with a home close to Bognor Regis station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What experience they bring
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Local roofs in Middleton-on-Sea
Middleton-on-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you look after a building like Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark like St Nicholas Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Leave it or get it looked at?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Blocked gutters on homes around Middleton-on-Sea overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
