About our roof survey in Wisborough Green
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and debris building up in roof valleys.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.

Useful tips for Wisborough Green property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Let us know about past leaks
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- File the report with your home documents
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. 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.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
When to book a survey in Wisborough Green
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their report turnaround times
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Wisborough Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Wisborough Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How soon is the report ready?
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.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A full building survey of the property
- An exact number of years the roof has left

Wisborough Green homes and their roofs
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Old Place Manor, about 4.4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wisborough Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you look after a building such as Wisborough Green Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
