Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Kingston Gorse
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about standing water on a flat roof and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Kingston Gorse, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

What we’re asked to look at in Kingston Gorse
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
The streets around a church like St Andrew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Questions from Kingston Gorse
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingston Gorse?
Yes, Kingston Gorse is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Kingston Gorse?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
What affects the price in Kingston Gorse
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Landlord roof surveys around Kingston Gorse
Kingston Gorse is within about 1 mile of the coast, 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, while driving rain finds any gap. About 1.8 miles north lies Ecclesden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Kingston Gorse has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Ferring CofE Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Goring-By-Sea station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Kingston Gorse, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- 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 be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- 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
