About our landlord roof survey in Easebourne
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. 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. Common reasons to book are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Easebourne, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Why get it checked now?
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 are asking contractors to price. Around Easebourne, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Landlord roof surveys in Easebourne: local notes
About 0.6 miles south lies Cowdray House, a reminder of how long the area around Easebourne has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as Easebourne CofE Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Easebourne is about 9 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Surveys in Easebourne work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report.

Easebourne: your questions answered
Do you cover Easebourne?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Easebourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
