Landlord roof survey in Billingshurst
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and leaking joints at party walls, on blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Billingshurst drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Landlord roof surveys in Billingshurst: local notes
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Billingshurst has a long history of building, with Old Place Manor about 4.9 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Billingshurst Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Questions from Billingshurst
Is Billingshurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Billingshurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Billingshurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Billingshurst?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In an older home around Billingshurst, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

When to book a survey in Billingshurst
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- What the survey will not cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Billingshurst, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
