Landlord roof survey in Hollington, East Sussex
An experienced roof surveyor for landlord roof surveys in Hollington. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges

- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Landlord roof survey in Hollington: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Hollington and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. If you are worried about cracked or lifting flashings and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
Around Hollington, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit to a smaller place like Hollington is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work

Local roofs in Hollington
Hollington is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Durhamford Manor, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hollington. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of St Leonards Warrior Square station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Anyone responsible for a site like Hollington Primary Academy will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
FAQs for Hollington
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Hollington?
It can do. Within about 2 miles of the sea, as Hollington is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Is Hollington within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We will confirm what we need when booking.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hollington
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Hollington, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
