Landlord Roof Survey in West Sussex

Our landlord roof survey service in West Sussex

A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.

The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.

1. We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
2. We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
3. We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
4. Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
5. You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.

Before and after the survey

There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:

• Arrange flat access beforehand
• Make sure the roof space can be accessed
• Act on high-priority defects quickly
• Get legal advice on lease responsibilities

If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.

Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
