How a roof survey works in Worth
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. 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. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Common reasons to book are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and torn or sagging underlay, on chimney stacks, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles.
In a smaller place like Worth, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Worth
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Worth is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. In an older home around Worth, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
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.

Common questions in Worth
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Three Bridges station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is drone flying allowed in Worth?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Gatwick Airport comes within about 1 mile of Worth. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How much does a roof survey cost in Worth?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Is Worth in your area?
Yes. We cover Worth and the rest of West Sussex. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a roof survey looks like in Worth
Crawley, which Worth is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and 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. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Three Bridges station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. With Gravetye Manor about 4.2 miles south-east, the area around Worth has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. Homes near green spaces such as Worth Park Gardens can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Worth is about 2 miles east of Crawley, in West Sussex. Whether the building in Worth is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages.

Can I check my roof myself?

It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
