Landlord roof survey in Felpham: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Felpham and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and ponding or splits on flat roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Felpham, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Common roof problems in Felpham
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
If you let a flat or house near Bognor Regis station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Will the report include photos?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Leave it or get it looked at?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Homes in smaller places like Felpham can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.

You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there.

A visit to Felpham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.

- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Felpham homes and their roofs
Felpham lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live near a park such as The Brooks Local Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Common questions in Felpham
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Felpham, take more of a battering?
Frequently, yes. Within about 1 mile of the sea, as Felpham is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Felpham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Felpham?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
