About our roof survey in Warningcamp
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. Common reasons to book are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, across the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Warningcamp are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Prices for roof surveys in Warningcamp
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- Anything about access we should know
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Warningcamp
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Warningcamp, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Littlehampton Academy will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. With Ecclesden Manor about 2.8 miles south-east, the area around Warningcamp has a long history. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. For landlords with property near Arundel station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Warningcamp: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Warningcamp, take more of a battering?
It can do. Warningcamp is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Warningcamp is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Warningcamp often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

For an older or listed building in a place like Warningcamp, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
