Letting agents and landlords in Wineham book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wineham
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’ve noticed leaking gutter joints and downpipes and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Wineham may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Wineham questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wineham?
Yes, Wineham is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Wineham is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
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. It’s emailed to you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How do I book a survey in Wineham?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What a roof survey looks like in Wineham
Historic houses like Ockenden Manor, about 4.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Wineham goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for Wineham property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Keep the report with your property records
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we look at them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That is why we check them closely.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around Wineham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
