Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Battramsley
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and loose ridge or hip tiles, on flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like Battramsley 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we can’t see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Battramsley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
FAQs for Battramsley
Is my home in Battramsley listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is the coastal weather around Battramsley hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Battramsley is within about 3 miles of the coast.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Battramsley?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you work in Battramsley?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Battramsley.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Battramsley homes and their roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Battramsley, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For landlords with property near Sway station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church such as Church of St John are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Battramsley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
