About our landlord roof survey in Albourne Street
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
In a small place like Albourne Street, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Albourne Street
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Why act early in Albourne Street
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Albourne Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
For a price for your roof in Albourne Street, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Landlord roof surveys around Albourne Street
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Albourne CofE Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Hassocks station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

FAQs for Albourne Street
Will you come out to Albourne Street?
Yes. Albourne Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
I let a flat near Hassocks station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report follows by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Albourne Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Useful tips for Albourne Street property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
