Landlord roof survey in Saint Hill Green
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. Common reasons to book are ceiling stains reported by tenants and worn ridges, hips and verges, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Saint Hill Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Saint Hill Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Saint Hill Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Saint Hill Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease, and that’s a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it, so residents need notice.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Common roof problems in Saint Hill Green
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:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Anyone responsible for a site like The Meads Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Saint Hill Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

What else we do in Saint Hill Green
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Local roofs in Saint Hill Green
Saint Hill Manor, about 0.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Saint Hill Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For an older house near a landmark like St. Barnabas Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
