About our landlord roof survey in Jury's Gap
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at blocked gutters over flats and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and shared roofs.
In a small place like Jury's Gap, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.

Landlord roof surveys in Jury's Gap: local notes
Jury's Gap lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. With Lamb House about 4.4 miles west, Jury's Gap sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For landlords with property near Rye station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What a survey costs

Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:

Common questions in Jury's Gap
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Jury's Gap, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Can a landlord with a rental near Rye station book a roof survey?
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.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report follows by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How do I book a survey in Jury's Gap?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
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.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Jury's Gap frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away

Useful tips for Jury's Gap property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Jury's Gap, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
