Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Crockerhill
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Flashings that have come away
- Blocked gutters over flats
If you look after a building such as Tangmere Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book anyone

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crockerhill
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Crockerhill and the rest of London and South East England. A visit normally takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed loose ridge or hip tiles and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, converted houses and rented houses alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Crockerhill
Is Crockerhill within the area you cover?
Yes, Crockerhill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can a landlord with a rental near Barnham station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We will confirm the timing as you book.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Landlord roof surveys in Crockerhill: local notes
About 2.6 miles north-west lies Goodwood House, a reminder of how long the area around Crockerhill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.

- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit

Other services in Crockerhill
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a small place like Crockerhill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
