Rusper questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Faygate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Rusper?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Rusper?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How a landlord roof survey works in Rusper
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and shared roofs, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and gutters overflowing onto walls.
In a small place like Rusper, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- File each roof report for future reference
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Rusper needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Rusper
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Faygate station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like Rusper Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary Magdalene church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
