About our landlord roof survey in Ifieldwood
We survey let and shared roofs in Ifieldwood and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and worn ridges, hips and verges, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Ifieldwood may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.

Ifieldwood: your questions answered
Is my home in Ifieldwood listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Ifield station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Ifieldwood?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Ifieldwood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Ifieldwood
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Shop and office owners around County Mall may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For landlords with property near Ifield station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Ifieldwood?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mill Primary Academy, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
