Landlord roof surveys around Holton Hill
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Bateman's about 0.9 miles south-east, Holton Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you look after a building like Burwash CofE School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Stonegate station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Holton Hill
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are ceiling stains reported by tenants and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Holton Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why get it checked now?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For older village homes like those around Holton Hill, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- File each roof report for future reference
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Holton Hill 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 let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking near the property
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
