About our landlord roof survey in Ifield
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are worn ridges, hips and verges and standing water on a flat roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Ifield drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Parking around Ifield is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Landlord roof surveys in Ifield: local notes
Ifield is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low-pitched roofs shed water more slowly, and older concrete tiles, felt and gutters on these homes may be nearing the end of their life. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Shop and office owners around County Mall may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For landlords with property near Ifield station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to St Margaret's Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Ifield, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Ifield
My home in Ifield has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it as you book. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
Is Ifield within the area you cover?
Yes, Ifield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
