Landlord roof survey in Snow Hill
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you’ve noticed damaged pots and flaunching and worn ridges, hips and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Snow Hill are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Landlord roof surveys around Snow Hill
Historic houses such as Saint Hill Manor, about 3.4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Snow Hill goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of East Grinstead station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Snow Hill is about 3 miles west of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. If you’re in Snow Hill, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Across West Sussex, we cover Snow Hill.
Surveys in RH10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need a landlord roof survey at a property on Snow Hill and Green Lane or anywhere close by, we can survey it.

- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full building survey of every part of the property

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Snow Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Snow Hill?
Yes, Snow Hill is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Snow Hill?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
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.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Snow Hill?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.

Why act early in Snow Hill
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Older and listed buildings around Snow Hill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Snow Hill

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or email us.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Snow Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
