How a landlord roof survey works in Bewbush
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 the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We are frequently asked to look into gutters overflowing onto walls and cracked or lifting flashings, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Bewbush drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Bewbush: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ifield station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
My home in Bewbush has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when booking. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Landlord roof surveys in Bewbush: local notes
Crawley, which Bewbush is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. On homes of that age, felt underlay, flat roofs, gutters and fixings may all be due attention. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Ifield station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live near a park such as Target Hill Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Bewbush is about 1 mile west of Crawley, in West Sussex. From houses to flats and shops in Bewbush, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across West Sussex, large and small.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Bewbush
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you live in an older home near St Alban's, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which limits apply to the survey
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Bewbush, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
