About our landlord roof survey in Lambs Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. 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. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Somewhere as small as Lambs Green, homes are frequently 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Older and listed buildings around Lambs Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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. Never climb onto the roof to look.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
What we are asked to look at in Lambs Green
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
If you let a flat or house near Faygate station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lambs Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you run a business near County Mall, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Questions from Lambs Green
Is my home in Lambs Green 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 Faygate station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Lambs Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:

- A full structural assessment of the building
- Responsibility under a lease
