How a landlord roof survey works in Felcourt
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Typical surveys look at gutters overflowing onto walls and missing or loose roof coverings, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
In a village or hamlet like Felcourt, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Felcourt homes and their roofs
Saint Hill Manor, about 3.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Felcourt. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Homes near green spaces like Centenary Fields can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Landlords with a home close to Dormans station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Felcourt, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Useful tips for Felcourt property owners
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Check the loft space can be accessed
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Common questions in Felcourt
Is my home in Felcourt listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Dormans station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you cover Felcourt?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Felcourt included.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Felcourt
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
