Landlord roof survey in Burwash Weald: 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 along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We’re frequently asked to look into failed flashings at walls and chimneys and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Burwash Weald may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
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.

What we are asked to look at in Burwash Weald
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaks into upper flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you live in an older home near St Philip's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Will the report include photos?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely

Common questions in Burwash Weald
I let a flat near Stonegate station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Burwash Weald?
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 as you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Burwash Weald?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Burwash Weald homes and their roofs
With Bateman's about 0.9 miles east, Burwash Weald sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Outbuildings and barns around Burwash Weald are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
