Advice
Landlord roof survey in Pound Hill: what you get
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are parapets and upstands in poor repair and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Houses in smaller places like Pound Hill can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What else we do in Pound Hill
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Pound Hill
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Gravetye Manor, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pound Hill. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near County Mall, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For landlords with property near Three Bridges station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Pound Hill Infant Academy: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Homes in smaller places like Pound Hill can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
