Common questions in Ingrams Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ingrams Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Ingrams Green?
Yes, Ingrams Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
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.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it’s a roof survey. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
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.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How a landlord roof survey works in Ingrams Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Ingrams Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

How we price landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Ingrams Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Cowdray House, about 3.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Ingrams Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For any home in Ingrams Green, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you 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 with gutters cleared every year.
What happens if roof problems are left?
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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ingrams Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Ingrams Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
