How a landlord roof survey works in Broomershill
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and converted houses, and people most often book us about ponding or splits on flat roofs and blocked gutters over flats.
In a small place like Broomershill, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Broomershill homes and their roofs
About 1 mile west lies Old Place Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Broomershill has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Broomershill
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
We are often asked to look at:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, 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?
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Outbuildings and barns around Broomershill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Common questions in Broomershill
How do I find out if my home in Broomershill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Broomershill?
Yes, Broomershill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need when you book.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
How it 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. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Broomershill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
