Landlord roof survey in Flansham
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Flansham and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’re worried about leaking joints at party walls and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Flansham 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
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.

Why it is worth a survey now in Flansham
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a small place like Flansham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Flansham
Flansham lies within about 2 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Bilsham Chapel, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Homes near green spaces such as The Brooks Local Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Flansham is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We carry out landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Flansham and nearby. Flansham is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex where we work. Portsmouth is in our area too.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Flansham, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Flansham
Is Flansham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
