Landlord roof survey in Netherfield
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Netherfield
With Durhamford Manor about 3.3 miles east, Netherfield sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Netherfield CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Battle station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Netherfield
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Netherfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

What affects the price in Netherfield
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Common questions in Netherfield
How do I find out if my home in Netherfield is listed?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Netherfield?
Yes, Netherfield is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in so please give residents notice.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we don’t give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Netherfield?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
