Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Nyetimber
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Flashings that have come away
- Leaks into upper flats
If you let a flat or house near Bognor Regis station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Landlord roof survey in Nyetimber: what you get
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and shared roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and missing or loose roof coverings.
Around Nyetimber, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Nyetimber
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know

- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. In an older home around Nyetimber, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why book us in Nyetimber

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Nyetimber does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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 safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

FAQs for Nyetimber
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nyetimber?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is the coastal weather around Nyetimber hard on roofs?
It can do. Nyetimber is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Nyetimber homes and their roofs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Nyetimber, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Rose Green Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
