Prices for landlord roof surveys in Muddles Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Anything about access we should know
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Muddles Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Muddles Green and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. You then get a report with photographs. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Older and listed buildings around Muddles Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Muddles Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 2.2 miles south-east lies Horselunges Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Muddles Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Muddles Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Muddles Green?
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.
Will you come out to Muddles Green?
Yes, Muddles Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. The lease usually decides who is responsible and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Muddles Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Getting a price
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Muddles Green
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
Take a building like Chiddingly Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
