DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Landlord roof survey in Hollingrove: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Hollingrove and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. We’re frequently asked to look into standing water on a flat roof and leaks into upper flats, across rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Hollingrove, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Hollingrove, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Hollingrove homes and their roofs
With Bateman's about 2.2 miles north-west, Hollingrove sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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 frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Robertsbridge station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hollingrove
I let a flat near Robertsbridge station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Will you come out to Hollingrove?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you test for 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.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Hollingrove?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Honest limits
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:

Useful tips for Hollingrove property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
