What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Street End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.

- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.

How to prepare

Roof survey in Street End
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them frequently give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We survey the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and standing water on a flat roof.
In a small place like Street End, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
You receive the findings 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.

Local roofs in Street End
Street End is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Do you need a roof survey in Street End?
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Take a building like Sidlesham Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
What happens if roof problems are left?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Street End can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
