How a roof survey works in Muddles Green
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you are worried about loose chimney pots and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Muddles Green 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a roof survey looks like in Muddles Green
With Horselunges Manor about 2.2 miles south-east, Muddles Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Chiddingly Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, especially at the verges and ridge.
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
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.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Muddles Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.

Questions from Muddles Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is Muddles Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Muddles Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- File the report with your home documents
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
