A roof condition survey for homes and buildings around Twineham Green, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What made you get in touch
- The address and postcode of the property
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Twineham Green
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay frequently fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We survey natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and people most often book us about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.
Some older homes in villages like Twineham Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like Twineham Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Local roofs in Twineham Green
Historic houses such as Ockenden Manor, about 3.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Twineham Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Peter: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like Twineham CofE Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Useful tips for Twineham Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and it can help when you sell.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. In a small place like Twineham Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Your questions about roof surveys in Twineham Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twineham Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Burgess Hill station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s 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.
