Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Aldingbourne
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
In a small place like Aldingbourne, 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Questions from Aldingbourne
Is Aldingbourne within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Aldingbourne?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How do I book a survey in Aldingbourne?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldingbourne can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Aldingbourne?
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Flashings that have come away
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aldingbourne Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
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 to tell us when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Aldingbourne, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Aldingbourne
Aldingbourne homes and their roofs
Aldingbourne is within about 5 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Goodwood House about 3.2 miles north-west, Aldingbourne sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
