Ninfield: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Ninfield?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
How do I find out if my home in Ninfield is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We’ll confirm what we need as you book.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ninfield
We survey let and shared roofs in Ninfield and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are ceiling stains reported by tenants and gutters overflowing onto walls, on gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Ninfield are 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.
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, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
- The kind of building and roof involved
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

Landlord roof surveys in Ninfield: local notes
Ninfield lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Living close to Ashburnham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you let a flat or house near Crowhurst station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Ninfield, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
