Landlord roof survey in Broadbridge Heath: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
In a smaller place like Broadbridge Heath, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Broadbridge Heath, 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 beforehand.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Broadbridge Heath
Do you cover smaller places like Broadbridge Heath?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I let a flat near Christs Hospital station. Can you check the roof?
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.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How do I book a survey in Broadbridge Heath?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Broadbridge Heath
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Broadbridge Heath. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Local roofs in Broadbridge Heath
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Christs Hospital station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Shelley Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to St. John's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Roof by roof
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 where it’s safe to see them.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Tell tenants when we are coming
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
