How a landlord roof survey works in Albourne Green
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. Common reasons to book are leaks into upper flats and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Albourne Green 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.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.

Useful tips for Albourne Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- File each roof report for future reference
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
You receive a report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Albourne Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Find any records of previous roof work

Common questions in Albourne Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Albourne Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.

Yes, Albourne Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when booking.

Local roofs in Albourne Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Hassocks station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Albourne CofE Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
