Landlord roof survey in Burgh Hill
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damp or stains in top-floor flats and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Burgh Hill, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Burgh Hill homes and their roofs
With Bateman's about 3.8 miles south-west, Burgh Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, 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. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Etchingham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building like Etchingham Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Questions from Burgh Hill
Is my home in Burgh Hill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Burgh Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Burgh Hill
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For older village homes like those around Burgh Hill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Burgh Hill, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
