Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bucks Green
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and choked outlets and gutters, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Bucks Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Bucks Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bucks Green?
Yes, Bucks Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Bucks Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
What does a block roof survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Useful tips for Bucks Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bucks Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building like Pennthorpe School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Christs Hospital station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. The streets around a church such as St John the Baptist are often 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.

What else we do in Bucks Green
How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
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 will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Bucks Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft 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
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Older and listed buildings around Bucks Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
