Local Roof Surveys · Sussex
Roof surveys in Sussex. Know what needs attention.
Buying a home, dealing with a leak or being asked for a roof report? Get a clearer view of the roof, an explanation of the findings and a sensible next step.
Start with your question
What has brought you here?
01
I’m buying a property
Understand the roof before you commit, and prepare the right questions for the seller.
02
My building survey flagged the roof
Follow up the specific comments your surveyor could not resolve.
03
I have a leak or visible damage
Start with the symptoms, previous repairs and the roof details around them.
04
My insurer needs a report
Check the requested evidence and credentials before arranging the inspection.
05
I’m planning maintenance
Build a usable record of condition and identify what deserves attention first.
06
I need a closer view from above
Find out when drone photography helps and what still needs another form of access.
Evidence you can use
A photograph is the start. The explanation matters.
An image of a cracked tile or an open joint is useful when you know where it is, what it might affect and what should happen next. Our roof inspections focus on the question you need answered, with the roof areas and reporting arrangements agreed before the visit.
That may mean investigating a concern raised during a purchase, recording a flat roof for an insurer or reviewing the junction between an extension and the main house. We explain what is visible and where access or concealed construction limits the conclusion.
01
See what a roof report should explain
Condition, photographs, priorities, unresolved questions and inspection limits.
02
Understand the cost
The inspection method, access and reporting requirements all affect the quotation.
03
Choose the right kind of survey
A focused roof inspection and a whole-building survey answer different questions.
How it works
From a roof concern to a clear brief.
Tell us about the property.
Share the address, your reason for the survey and any relevant photographs or survey comments. Let us know if there is a purchase or insurance deadline.
Agree the scope and price.
We discuss which areas can be inspected, the access needed, what the report will contain and when it can be delivered.
Use the findings.
Understand the observed condition, discuss further investigation where necessary and plan suitable repairs or maintenance. Any separate repair quotation should be clearly identified.

Before you enquire
Your questions, answered.
Will a drone survey find every roof problem?
No. Aerial images can show visible roof coverings and details, but cannot reveal every concealed fixing, layer or timber. Weather, airspace and the site also affect whether a flight is suitable.
Can you help after a Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
Yes. Share the relevant roof comments so we can discuss a focused follow-up. The inspection does not replace the wider property survey or an engineer’s assessment.
Can I arrange a survey before exchanging contracts?
Tell us the property address, access contact and your deadline. Availability, access and report timing must be agreed before relying on a visit for a purchase decision.
Do you publish a fixed survey fee?
The price is quoted for the property and agreed scope. Ask for confirmation of the report, access arrangements, any repair-cost advice and the total payable before booking.
