Landlord roof survey in Salehurst
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and leaking joints at party walls.
In a small place like Salehurst, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Questions from Salehurst
How do I find out if my home in Salehurst is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
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 phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- 20+ years’ experience

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Salehurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Salehurst homes and their roofs
About 3.7 miles south lies Durhamford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Salehurst has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. 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.
If you look after a building such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
