About our landlord roof survey in Halland
We survey let and shared roofs in Halland and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at chimney stacks in poor repair and flashings that have come away, across blocks of flats, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Halland are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Halland, 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Halland
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Landlord roof surveys around Halland
With Glyndebourne about 4.8 miles south-west, Halland sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Uckfield station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like East Hoathly CofE Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For older village homes like those around Halland, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Halland questions
Is my home in Halland 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. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Uckfield station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
