Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Storrington
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
In a smaller place like Storrington, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why get it checked now?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. We look at them before they cause trouble. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Storrington, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to Storrington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.

Advice
How we price roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date

Questions from Storrington
Is my home in Storrington listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Can you survey a shared roof?
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.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you work in Storrington?
Yes. We survey roofs in Storrington and the rest of West Sussex. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Storrington
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- A full building survey of the property
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Storrington homes and their roofs
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Parham House, about 2 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Storrington goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Storrington Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Homes near green spaces such as Parham Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
