How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Landlord roof survey in Amberley
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We are often asked to look into leaks into upper flats and standing water on a flat roof, across converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Amberley, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Amberley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Common questions in Amberley
I let a flat near Amberley station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Amberley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Amberley?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Amberley
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. For an older or listed building in a place like Amberley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Amberley
Historic houses like Parham House, about 1.9 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Amberley goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Trees in and around Parham Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
