Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in High Hurstwood
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and worn ridges, hips and verges, across gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like High Hurstwood are 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 frequently expected.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

When to book a survey in High Hurstwood
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Look out for signs like these:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Leaks into upper flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

- What happens after the report arrives

Questions from High Hurstwood
Will you come out to High Hurstwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in High Hurstwood listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in so please give residents notice.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older and listed buildings around High Hurstwood may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Useful tips for High Hurstwood property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Landlord roof surveys in High Hurstwood: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building like High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Buxted station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
