Roof survey in South Mundham: what you get
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around South Mundham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

What else we do in South Mundham
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Keep the report with your property records
- Let us know about past leaks
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Do you need a roof survey in South Mundham?
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Torn or sagging underlay
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Mundham Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long the report takes to arrive

What a roof survey looks like in South Mundham
South Mundham lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. 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 live near a park such as Avisford, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Stephen, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

FAQs for South Mundham
Will you come out to South Mundham?
Yes. South Mundham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in South Mundham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
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.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Why act early in South Mundham
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. In a small place like South Mundham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:

- The property’s address and postcode
