Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Newpound Common
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you’ve noticed lifted, split or missing lead flashings and worn or blocked valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Some older homes in villages like Newpound Common are 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why it is worth a survey now in Newpound Common
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Booking your survey

- What’s prompted the survey
- When you need the report by
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we look at them closely.
Newpound Common questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Newpound Common?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Newpound Common?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Newpound Common often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

When to book a survey in Newpound Common
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking

Roof surveys around Newpound Common
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Billingshurst station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Wisborough Green Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
