Haslingbourne homes and their roofs
Petworth House, about 1.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Haslingbourne. If yours is one of the older homes, 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Petworth Cof E Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as Church of St Bartholomew are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

About our landlord roof survey in Haslingbourne
We survey let and shared roofs in Haslingbourne and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We are often asked to look into damp or stains in top-floor flats and leaking joints at party walls, across rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Haslingbourne can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Haslingbourne
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Outbuildings and barns around Haslingbourne are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

FAQs for Haslingbourne
Do you cover smaller places like Haslingbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Haslingbourne is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
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.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Haslingbourne?
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
