About our landlord roof survey in Hurst Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and people most often book us about damp or stains in top-floor flats and chimney stacks in poor repair.
In a small place like Hurst Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Hurst Green
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Why act early in Hurst Green
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In a place like Hurst Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Prices that include VAT

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hurst Green?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Common reasons to book include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hurst Green
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Hurst Green has a long history of building, with Bateman's about 4.4 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Etchingham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hurst Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Etchingham station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Hurst Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
