Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hampers Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. If you are worried about ponding or splits on flat roofs and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hampers Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. 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.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Common questions in Hampers Green
Is my home in Hampers Green 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.
Will you come out to Hampers Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Landlords and letting agents in Hampers Green book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Landlord roof surveys around Hampers Green
Historic houses such as Petworth House, about 0.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hampers Green goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near The Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Petworth Cof E Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What we’re asked to look at in Hampers Green
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.

- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
If you own a rental within reach of Pulborough station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Hampers Green, access is often the only tricky part. 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 agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Advice
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
