Roof survey in Toddington
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Common reasons to book are cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, on clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and flat roofs.
In a smaller place like Toddington, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, but its nails often corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Signs you need a roof survey in Toddington
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
If you live near a park such as Mewsbrook Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Toddington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Why it’s worth a survey now in Toddington
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. In a smaller place like Toddington, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Why book us in Toddington

Your questions about roof surveys in Toddington
Will you come out to Toddington?
Yes, Toddington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is the coastal weather around Toddington hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It is not a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Roof surveys in Toddington: local notes
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Toddington, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Ecclesden Manor, about 2.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Toddington. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Littlehampton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to All Saints: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
