Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Beeding
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and choked outlets and gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Lower Beeding may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Lower Beeding homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung 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. Historic houses such as Tyes Place, about 4.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Lower Beeding goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we are asked to look at in Lower Beeding
Older buildings across London and the South East 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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If you live near a park such as Leonardslee, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

Why it’s worth a survey now in Lower Beeding
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 Lower Beeding, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Lower Beeding questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lower Beeding?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Lower Beeding within the area you cover?
Yes, Lower Beeding is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Lower Beeding needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- 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.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
