Best Beech Hill Landlord Roof Survey
Independent landlord roof surveys in Best Beech Hill. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Leaks into upper flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Landlord roof survey in Best Beech Hill: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the roof space where there is safe access. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing onto walls and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
For a price for your roof in Best Beech Hill, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
We’ll usually ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
FAQs for Best Beech Hill
Can a landlord with a rental near Wadhurst station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Best Beech Hill is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you work in Best Beech Hill?
Yes. Best Beech Hill is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.

Honest limits

- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Best Beech Hill frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older and listed buildings around Best Beech Hill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What you get with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

Local roofs in Best Beech Hill
About 1.4 miles east lies Wadhurst Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Best Beech Hill has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Wadhurst station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Uplands Community College: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
