Landlord roof survey in South Mundham: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’re worried about damaged pots and flaunching and parapets and upstands in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses alike.
In a village or hamlet like South Mundham, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in South Mundham
South Mundham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Stephen: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like North Mundham Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Trees in and around Avisford shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What we look for on each type of roof

We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

South Mundham: your questions answered
Will you come out to South Mundham?
Yes, South Mundham is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around South Mundham, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around South Mundham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft 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 photos.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Responsibility under a lease
