How a landlord roof survey works in Pell Green
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are choked outlets and gutters and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Pell 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. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

FAQs for Pell Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wadhurst station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Pell Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Pell Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- File each roof report for future reference
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
When to book a survey in Pell Green
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Choked outlets and gutters
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wadhurst CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their report turnaround times
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Pell Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Pell Green
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Wadhurst Castle about 0.9 miles south-west, Pell Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Landlords with a home close to Wadhurst station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark like Rehoboth Chapel, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
