Itchingfield Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys in Itchingfield, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Flashings that have come away
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Itchingfield can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Landlord roof survey in Itchingfield: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular 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 make access easier to arrange. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Around Itchingfield, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Itchingfield
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Itchingfield
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like Barns Green Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Christs Hospital station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicolas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can safely be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Questions from Itchingfield
Is Itchingfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Itchingfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
I let a flat near Christs Hospital station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
