Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Steven's Crouch
Our roof surveys cover Steven's Crouch and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and people most frequently book us about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.
Some older homes in villages like Steven's Crouch 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. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

What else we do in Steven's Crouch
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Do you need a roof survey in Steven's Crouch?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Torn or sagging underlay
If you live near a park such as Ashburnham Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Around Steven's Crouch, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Steven's Crouch homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses like Durhamford Manor, about 4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Steven's Crouch goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Battle station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Claverham Community College: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Prices for roof surveys in Steven's Crouch
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Your questions about roof surveys in Steven's Crouch
Do you cover smaller places like Steven's Crouch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Steven's Crouch is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How much does a roof survey cost in Steven's Crouch?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
