Landlord Roof Survey in Bepton
Landlord roof surveys in Bepton and the rest of West Sussex. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
What affects the price in Bepton
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- What made you get in touch
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How a landlord roof survey works in Bepton
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Bepton 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Bepton
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Useful tips for Bepton property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Local roofs in Bepton
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Cowdray House, about 2.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Bepton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Bepton
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Bepton questions
Do you cover Bepton?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Bepton is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Bepton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Why it is worth a survey now in Bepton
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. For an older or listed building in a place like Bepton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Weekday and weekend surveys
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Bepton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked 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.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
