Roofs, chimneys and gutters in West Green
West Green is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Low-pitched roofs shed water more slowly, and older concrete tiles, felt and gutters on these homes may be nearing the end of their life. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Crawley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you live near a park such as Grattons Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
West Green is about 1 mile north of Crawley, in West Sussex. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in West Green can all book roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. Across West Sussex, we cover West Green.
Roof surveys in RH11 and RH10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on Bank Lane, Swift Lane and Raven Lane or a nearby road, we can help. We also cover Langley Green (1 mile north), Crawley (1 mile south), Southgate (1 mile south), Three Bridges (1 mile east) and Tilgate (1 mile south-east).

Roof survey in West Green: what you get
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around West Green, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to West Green is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Common questions in West Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Crawley station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like West Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I book a survey in West Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How long does a roof survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- What made you get in touch
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Blocked gutters on homes around West Green overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
