Adversane Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Adversane? You can book a landlord roof survey in Adversane and across West Sussex.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Adversane can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Adversane
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Adversane and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are parapets and upstands in poor repair and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Some older homes in villages like Adversane are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. In a place like Adversane, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What you get with us

Adversane: your questions answered
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Adversane?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Adversane
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you look after a building like The Weald School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
