Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cooper's Corner
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, 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 set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We are frequently asked to look into leaks into upper flats and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Cooper's Corner may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Cooper's Corner questions
Is Cooper's Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, Cooper's Corner is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Cooper's Corner?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a place like Cooper's Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we are coming
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Cooper's Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Cooper's Corner homes and their roofs
Bateman's, about 4.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cooper's Corner. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Living close to Collingwood Nature Reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. For landlords with property near Etchingham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
