Landlord roof survey in Angmering-on-Sea
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
Older buildings in small places like Angmering-on-Sea 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What we are asked to look at in Angmering-on-Sea
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
FAQs for Angmering-on-Sea
Can a landlord with a rental near Angmering station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes, Angmering-on-Sea is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
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. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
Why act early in Angmering-on-Sea
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. For an older or listed building in a place like Angmering-on-Sea, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.

How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Angmering-on-Sea, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Angmering-on-Sea
Angmering-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Ecclesden Manor, about 1.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Angmering-on-Sea. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
