Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nyton
We survey roofs in Nyton and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. If you’re worried about loose chimney pots and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and natural slate alike.
Somewhere as small as Nyton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older rural homes like those around Nyton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Surveys for landlords and agents in Nyton
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Nyton questions
Is Nyton within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is the coastal weather around Nyton hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows, and Nyton is within about 5 miles of the coast.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Local roofs in Nyton
Nyton is within about 5 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you own a rental within reach of Barnham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Historic houses such as Goodwood House, about 3.6 miles north-west, show how far back building around Nyton goes. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
Nyton is about 4 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need a roof survey in Nyton?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Loose chimney pots
If you look after a building like Ormiston Six Villages Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate
- The roof space
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
