Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Coggins Mill
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Landlord roof survey in Coggins Mill
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. If you are worried about standing water on a flat roof and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Coggins Mill are 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

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
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
- Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Coggins Mill questions
How do I find out if my home in Coggins Mill is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Wadhurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Landlord roof surveys in Coggins Mill: local notes
With Wadhurst Castle about 3.5 miles north-east, Coggins Mill sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Church of St. Dunstan are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Wadhurst station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Mayfield Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Coggins Mill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
