Landlord roof survey in Bosham Hoe
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Bosham Hoe, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bosham Hoe
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bosham Hoe, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Bosham Hoe and across West Sussex can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Bosham Hoe can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before booking.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

Landlord roof surveys around Bosham Hoe
Bosham Hoe is within about 1 mile of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Bosham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. The streets around a church like The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Useful tips for Bosham Hoe property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Bosham Hoe: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bosham Hoe, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
I let a flat near Bosham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
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’s disturbed.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Do you cover Bosham Hoe?
Yes. We survey roofs in Bosham Hoe and the rest of West Sussex. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
