Newchapel Landlord Roof Survey
Get a clear view of the let or shared roof at a property in Newchapel from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Newchapel can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

About our landlord roof survey in Newchapel
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you are worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Newchapel
Can a landlord with a rental near Dormans 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.
Will you come out to Newchapel?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
Landlord roof surveys around Newchapel
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Saint Hill Manor about 4 miles south, Newchapel sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Imberhorne School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Dormans station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Newchapel is about 3 miles north-west of East Grinstead, in Surrey. Newchapel is one of many places we visit across Surrey. Newchapel is one of the places in Surrey we cover for landlord roof surveys. There is also a page for Crawley.

Local landmarks in Newchapel
We work in homes and buildings around Centenary Fields and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Dormans station, about 2 miles east.

Common roof problems in Newchapel
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Standing water on a flat roof
Living close to Centenary Fields is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours

Why get it checked now?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newchapel can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and our case studies.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
