Surveys for landlords and agents in Gossops Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
About our landlord roof survey in Gossops Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Gossops Green and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats.
In a smaller place like Gossops Green, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

When to book a survey in Gossops Green
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Ifield station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What experience they bring
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Around Gossops Green, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Gossops Green
Is my home in Gossops Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Gossops Green worth including?
Often, yes, so mention it when booking. Many homes in new towns like Crawley have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs often last around 15–20 years.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Homes around Gossops Green frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- 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 the ground, 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 photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Booking a survey
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Related advice
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Deal with urgent items first
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Gossops Green
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Ifield Community College will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live near a park such as Target Hill Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
