Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broadbridge
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about mortar falling from ridges and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
In a small place like Broadbridge, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

FAQs for Broadbridge
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broadbridge?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bosham station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Broadbridge?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you cover Broadbridge?
Yes. We survey roofs in Broadbridge and the rest of West Sussex. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Broadbridge
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Broadbridge. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Broadbridge
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Landlords with a home close to Bosham station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Landlord roof surveys in Broadbridge: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Broadbridge, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as The United Reformed Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as Bosham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What else we do in Broadbridge
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands as far as safe access allows.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Broadbridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll 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.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
