Minsted questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Minsted?
Yes, Minsted is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Minsted?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Minsted?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Landlord roof survey in Minsted: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases 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. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about gutters overflowing onto walls and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats alike.
Older buildings in small places like Minsted 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Minsted
Historic houses such as Cowdray House, about 2.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Minsted goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St James, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Stedham Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Minsted is about 7 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Minsted gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Minsted is one of the places in West Sussex we cover. Our Portsmouth page covers surveys nearby.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. In a place like Minsted, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the exact price before you book.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Minsted, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
