Landlord roof survey in Shipton Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and chimney stacks in poor repair.
In a small place like Shipton Green, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Shipton Green
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Common questions in Shipton Green
Is my home in Shipton 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.
Is Shipton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Shipton Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in so please give residents notice.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.

Landlord roof surveys around Shipton Green
Shipton Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Birdham CE Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Bosham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer.

- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
