About our roof survey in Turners Hill
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey chimney stacks, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists.
Older buildings in small places like Turners Hill may be 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 often expected.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Roof surveys in Turners Hill: local notes
Historic houses like Gravetye Manor, about 1.6 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Turners Hill goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building like Turners Hill CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to East Grinstead station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

FAQs for Turners Hill
How do I find out if my home in Turners Hill 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 a landlord with a rental near East Grinstead station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Turners Hill?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Useful tips for Turners Hill property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Turners Hill
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Turners Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. For an older or listed building in a place like Turners Hill, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
