About our landlord roof survey in Oxley's Green
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are worn ridges, hips and verges and flashings that have come away.
In a village or hamlet like Oxley's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Oxley's Green
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the survey will not cover
What we cannot see
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:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Local roofs in Oxley's Green
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 1.9 miles north-west lies Bateman's, a reminder of how long the area around Oxley's Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Robertsbridge station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What else we do in Oxley's Green
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Oxley's Green can have low, tight loft 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Oxley's Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Oxley's Green?
Yes. Oxley's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Robertsbridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
