Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Coneyhurst
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are blocked gutters over flats and worn ridges, hips and verges.
In a small place like Coneyhurst, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Coneyhurst: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Will you come out to Coneyhurst?
Yes, Coneyhurst is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Coneyhurst, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Coneyhurst
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How big the roof is
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you contact us
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Local roofs in Coneyhurst
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Coneyhurst has a long history of building, with Old Place Manor about 4.8 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Landlords with a home close to Billingshurst station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like The Weald School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Why it is worth a survey now in Coneyhurst
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. In a place like Coneyhurst, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
