Landlord roof survey in Snagshall, East Sussex
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Snagshall, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Landlord roof survey in Snagshall: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed ponding or splits on flat roofs and leaks into upper flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Snagshall 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.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Outbuildings and barns around Snagshall are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Responsibility under a lease
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
For a price for your roof in Snagshall, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Common roof problems in Snagshall
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Missing or loose roof coverings
Landlords with a home close to Robertsbridge station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Local roofs in Snagshall
With Great Dixter about 2.2 miles east, Snagshall sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bodiam Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St James, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Snagshall can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
