Ansty Landlord Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the let or shared roof before you decide what to do next. Landlord roof surveys in Ansty, with photos and a clear written report.
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Leaks into upper flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Deal with urgent items first
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
About our landlord roof survey in Ansty
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a 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 make access easier to arrange. Typical surveys look at cracked or lifting flashings and chimney stacks in poor repair, across rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Ansty may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Ansty questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ansty?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Haywards Heath station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. 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 applicable.
How do I book a survey in Ansty?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Ansty, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Ansty
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Ockenden Manor, about 1.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ansty. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Haywards Heath station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Warden Park School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
