Roof survey in Saint Hill Green
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Typical surveys look at slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, on lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
In a small place like Saint Hill Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
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, whichever applies.

Your questions about roof surveys in Saint Hill Green
Will you come out to Saint Hill Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Saint Hill Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Can you check whether my roof contains 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.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we look at them closely.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- A full building survey of the property
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings

Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. For an older or listed building in a place like Saint Hill Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
What you get with us
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- PI and public liability insurance
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Every finding written up with photos

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Saint Hill Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Roof surveys around Saint Hill Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 0.1 miles north-west lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Saint Hill Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you own a rental within reach of East Grinstead station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as St. Barnabas Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as The Meads Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
