Landlord roof survey in Dragons Green: what you get
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and people most frequently book us about chimney stacks in poor repair and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Older buildings in small places like Dragons Green 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 often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

FAQs for Dragons Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Do you cover smaller places like Dragons Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re 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. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Common roof problems in Dragons Green
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- File each roof report for future reference
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Responsibility under a lease
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Before the survey

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Dragons Green
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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take an older house close to The Church of St Mary the Virgin: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shipley CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
