What a landlord roof survey looks like in Angmering
Angmering is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Historic houses like Ecclesden Manor, about 0.4 miles east, show how far back building around Angmering goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. Landlords with a home close to Angmering station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Landlord roof survey in Angmering
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks alike.
In a smaller place like Angmering, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What else we do in Angmering
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Angmering?
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Take a building like St Wilfrids Catholic Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Angmering does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Deal with urgent items first
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Angmering: your questions answered
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 use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is the coastal weather around Angmering hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Angmering is within about 2 miles of the coast.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Angmering?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
